"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.

To Resolve

"Nothing can equal the splendor of youth. To be young is to possess a treasure of infinite worth far greater than any person of power. Youth, and indeed life itself, flashes by in the blink of an eye. That is why it is important for you to ask yourselves what you can do for those who are suffering, what you can do to resolve the mournful contradictions that plague society, and to boldly take on these great challenges without shunning the subsequent problems and difficulties you will inevitably face."

-Daisaku Ikeda-
