"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.

The International Committee of Artists for Peace (ICAP) was initiated by the artists of SGI-USA and is a coalition of co-sponsors in support of the United Nations International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence for the Children of the World (2001-2010).

Based on its mission to provide peace education through the performing arts, ICAP confers its annual "Humanities in the Arts Peace Award," accompanying a concert; produces a cultural exchange concert series; and promotes peace education.
