🌕 Under the Autumn Moon, Minds Found Peace Within

Full Moon Meditation: An Evening of Stillness and Letting Go

On Saturday, September 26, 2026, the Meditation Center of Chicago, USA, hosted a Full Moon Meditation, welcoming members of the local community to step away from their daily routines and spend a peaceful evening reconnecting with themselves.

The gathering began with gentle stretching to release tension from the body and create a comfortable space for meditation.

Venerable Sophon Panyasobhano then offered guidance on meditation, encouraging participants to gently turn their attention inward and allow the mind to settle. Everyone joined together for a 30-minute meditation in a calm and peaceful atmosphere.

As the autumn evening grew quieter, participants had the opportunity to release the thoughts, worries, and distractions of everyday life. With the mind becoming lighter and more peaceful, a natural sense of clarity, ease, and inner happiness emerged.

The evening served as a gentle reminder that sometimes, finding peace begins simply by letting go and allowing the mind to rest.

May the pure energy generated through this meditation gathering be shared with all people around the world, bringing peace, happiness, and well-being to all. 💛

🌿 Create Your Inner Power
Our mind has a powerful influence on the way we experience life. What we repeatedly think, feel, and cultivate within ourselves shapes the way we see the world and respond to it.
Rather than simply waiting for better circumstances, we can learn to develop the mind and create inner power—the strength to remain calm, aware, positive, and wise even when life brings challenges.

In the Peace Time Program, a meditation and wisdom session guided by Monk Sophon, we explore how meditation can help us understand the mind, cultivate positive qualities, and transform our inner world.
🧘‍♂️ Train your mind. Strengthen your inner power. Create a more peaceful way of living.
Join us for meditation, wisdom, and meaningful reflection for everyday life.

🌿 Discover the Power of Mantra
A mantra is more than a word or a sound. When practiced with mindfulness and understanding, it can become a powerful tool for calming the mind, strengthening concentration, and cultivating inner peace. 🧘‍♂️✨

In the Peace Time Program, guided by Monk Sophon, we will explore the meaning and power of mantra practice—how the repetition of a meaningful sound can help bring the mind away from distraction and toward greater calm, awareness, and stillness.

Take a moment to pause, listen within, and discover how mantra can become part of your meditation practice and daily life.

✨ Calm the mind. Strengthen awareness. Awaken inner peace.
Join us for meditation, wisdom, and a deeper understanding of the mind through the eyes of Buddhism.
