"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.

Substance

"One's true worth as a human being is not a matter of outward appearance or title but derives rather from the breadth of one's spirit. Everything comes down to faith and conviction. It is what is in one's heart and the substance of one's actions that count."

-Daisaku Ikeda, "For Today and Tomorrow", pg 282 -
