"It is senseless to blame others or your environment for your miseries. Change begins from the moment you muster the courage to act. When you change, the environment will change. The power to change the world is found nowhere but within our own life." -Daisaku Ikdea-

As I begin my 21st year of Buddhist practice with SGI-USA, I find great joy in sharing quotes, principles, guidances and poems from Daisaku Ikeda . Some are poems and thoughts of my own. I hope you will be encouraged.

Heritage

"I deeply believe that the present emergence of a great global network of Bodhisattvas of the Earth will lead to a profound change in the way humanity perceives life and death; it will cause the heritage of peace, humanism and happiness to flow swift and strong throughout the world; it will spark a fundamental transformation in the life-state of all humankind.
And I entrust the realization of this noble mission to my fellow members throughout the world. I have faith in my disciples. Above all, I am counting on the youth."

(Excerpted from Daisaku Ikeda's Study Lecture Series on "The Heritage of the Ultimate Law of Life")
