"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 Power to Open

--WORDS OF THE WEEK--
The character "myo" contains
the power to open.
Let's open new avenues through
deep prayer and tenacious efforts,
beginning with our local group
of members.




--TO MY FRIENDS--
Let's energize our meetings
with fresh anecdotes.
Let's lead meetings that hearten
fellow members and leave them feeling
glad they came and
inspired to work together.

-Daisaku Ikeda-
