About Us
Report
The Meditation Center of Chicago was founded by a small Thai Buddhist community who believe a more harmonious and peaceful world can be brought about through teaching meditation. Our goals are to spread the many benefits of mindfulness meditation, offer information on Buddhist tradition, and provide an environment for anyone interested in exploring the richness of Thai culture.
Giving
Report
Our teaching monks, staff and volunteer dedicate their time in order to practice generosity to maintain balance of mind, and to generate love and compassion. Selfless service is an essential part of the path of inner peace, an important step in the direction of liberation. With these feelings of love and compassion, the wish naturally arises to help others attain inner peace and happiness.
Meditation
Report
Visualization - Gently focus the mind on an image, typically a bright object like a sun, moon, or crystal ball. Envision this object slowly getting brighter and clearer. Keep the mind fixed on the object while breathing normally. Visualization is a powerful technique that can keep the mind from wandering.
Classes
Report
Our meditation classes are conducted by Middle Way meditation instructors, and practitioners. They teach easy to learn techniques that when practiced regularly can lead to a calmer, happier state-of-mind. Though many of us are aware that meditation can help with stress, it's hard to find time to relax and focus.
