The butterfly's life is a lot like our journey of transformation. A tiny egg hatches, grows into a voracious caterpillar, devours everything it can until suddenly, one day, it becomes very still, contained. An extraordinary sort of alchemy begins - the caterpillar dissolves entirely, and over time reassembles again, breaks open its shell and emerges changed entirely - beautifully, perfectly suited to what's next. Because that's just the first part! Next is a journey over thousands miles, all of the butterflies, and then back again. A lot like our hero's journey of transformation.

Join us every Sunday morning at 1030am for Taking Safe Direction, a Buddhist meditation and dharma group at The Mystique Emporium - everyone is welcome!

Good news! Everything is impermanent.

Who you are today isn't who you'll be tomorrow, and nothing is predetermined. With every thought, every choice, every skillful action, we can come closer to becoming who we really are.

Step by step, our path leads us home.

And you aren't alone! Buddhism operates on the friendship model - so we invite absolutely everyone to join us for Taking Safe Direction, a Buddhist meditation and dharma group. We meet starting at 1030am at The Mystique Emporium in Henryetta OK.

We'd love to see you. 😊📿

Training our minds is the most powerful step in learning to make better, more intentional choices in everything we do. Each breath, each moment is an opportunity.

Monday is the equinox, summer flowers are fading and everything is slowing, slowing as Autumn approaches. This is a perfect time for us to slow down too, to breath, to pay attention as each moment slips away and a new one arises just like the seasons, the rhythm of impermanence.

So join us tomorrow at 1030am for Taking Safe Direction, a Buddhist meditation group at The Mystique Emporium in Henryetta OK!

Everyone is welcome, no matter your faith or core beliefs - we operate on the friendship model. 😊🩵🧡📿

What's the remedy for troubled times?

Patience. With others. With ourselves. With knowing that with every breath, peace is possible - personal peace. World peace.

With every breath we can return to the center, and return to our true nature.

Please join us for Taking Safe Direction, our Buddhist meditation group at the The Mystique Emporium in Henryetta, Sunday mornings at 10:30am till noon.

May all beings have happiness and its causes, be free of suffering, and abide in equanimity. 📿🙏🧡

Buddhism Is Not About Worship — It’s About Practice!

There is a common misconception that Buddhism is a religion where you "worship" the Buddha. But the truth is far deeper and more beautiful.

Buddhism is not about blind faith or ritual — it is a practice, a way of living, much like yoga or meditation. It’s about training the mind, cultivating compassion, and learning to see reality as it is.

You don’t have to give up your faith to practice Buddhism. In fact, Buddhism can complement your faith. I once heard about a Catholic priest who lives in a Buddhist monastery in France. He said something profound:

👉 “Buddhism makes me a better Christian.”

And that’s the essence. Buddhism doesn’t ask you to worship the Buddha. Instead, it teaches you to awaken your own mind, to let go of suffering, and to live with wisdom and compassion.

When you practice mindfulness, kindness, and non-attachment, you become:
✨ A more present parent.
✨ A more patient friend.
✨ A more compassionate believer.
✨ A calmer, happier human being.

Whether you are Christian, Hindu, Muslim, Jewish, or follow no religion at all — the principles of Buddhism can make you more grounded, more peaceful, and more loving.

Because at its core, Buddhism is not about changing your God.
It’s about changing yourself.

🌸 Practice Buddhism, not to become a Buddhist — but to become a better, happier human being.

In the West, meditation is sometimes seen as passive - but by training our mind we can learn an active, not reactive, concentration on this present moment, allowing us to see clearly the real nature of things - no matter what's going around us.

Join us tomorrow for Taking Safe Direction, a Buddhist meditation group at the The Mystique Emporium on Main Street in Henryetta from 10:30am-12noon, and hear a story about a monk, a tiger, and moment of clarity. 😊🧡🩵📿

And afterwards have fun at the town Labor Day celebration!

The beloved Zen teacher Thich Nhat Hanh taught very simply, "No mud, no lotus."

Understanding the muddy mess of our suffering allows compassion and wisdom to blossom - we reveal our true nature. Meditation is the foundation for that - and absolutely everyone is welcome to join us for Taking Safe Direction, a Buddhist meditation and dharma group.

And we have new hours! We'll meet from 10:30am to 12:00pm - we know some of y'all are coming from a distance, we want to appreciate that time! We meet at The Mystique Emporium on Main Street in Henryetta.
