"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.

Treasures

Had a second reunion with my birth mom last week. Met my aunt and uncle and some wonderful cousins. Had my husband and my dog with me.

My cousin, Sharon, took this shot of me and my mom. Came home to receive a message from my mentor.
Because of this - I am able to accumulate unlimited 'treasures of the heart'.

Thank you, Sensei!
