Happiness from a Different Source
We tend to look for happiness outside ourselves, thinking that if we arrange everything perfectly, we would be truly happy.
We could change our home or our partner countless times, but until we change our restless, discontented mind, we will never find real happiness. It is time we sought happiness from a different source. Happiness is a part of the mind, so the real source of happiness must lie within us.
Learn the true source of happiness within our own peaceful mind through the practice of Buddhist meditation.

Book Launch Alert
for Bill Pugin
Monday, December 8th from 6–8:30PM
Come meet Bill Pugin and pick up his new book!
Fly on the Wall
For over five decades, Bill Pugin has stood at the crossroads of two languages and cultures-bridging communication between the Deaf and hearing worlds. In this heartfelt and often humorous memoir, Pugin takes readers on a journey from his small-town Southern childhood to the global stages and studios where he built a lifetime of stories as a sign language interpreter, performer, and advocate. From his first exposure to American Sign Language through his Deaf sister, Mary Anne, to interpreting alongside Oscar-winner Marlee Matlin, Fly on the Wall celebrates the beauty of connection, the art of interpretation, and the human spirit's unshakable drive to be understood. Pugin's reflections reveal not just the life of one man, but the evolution of a profession-and a culture-rooted in empathy, expression, and resilience. A moving tribute to the Deaf community and a master class in compassion, this memoir is a must-read for anyone interested in language, accessibility, and the extraordinary power of understanding.
