On 6 March 2026, Venerable Phrakhrusamu Sanitwong Wuttiwangso, director of Communication department, Wat Phra Dhammakaya related that Wat Phra Dhammakaya Georgia, USA, becomes the center of inner peace for the locals as it has continuously held meditation courses, focusing on the inner peace. This activity is not only the mind training but also the cultural ties. The recent meditation course started with “Sharing of Good Deeds” as the ice-breaking activity by telling other attendees the good deeds that individuals had done during the week. Later, Venerable Phrakhrubhavanasuthivithes guided all to purify their mind by focusing their mind at the body center. He also taught Dhamma in order that all participants could apply the Buddha’s teachings as the guideline of living their life.
Most attendees shared the feedback that meditation brought the true inner happiness and it was different from other types of relaxation. Additionally, it resulted in inner peace and mental balance. At present, Wat Phra Dhammakaya Georgia becomes a destination of inner peace seekers. This implies that stilling the mind is the key to true happiness that everyone can reach and starts everyday routine from within.
