Kyomunim WonGong So corrects Felipe Labrada's pose during a teen meditation session at the Won-Buddhism Temple in Chapel Hill. The meditation session guides teenagers such as 16-year-old Felipe through a set of stretches, meditation positions and chants designed to clear and calm the mind. WonGong So says she started the teen meditation session because she saw the potential for teenagers to learn new things. She says children and teens 'can really absorb things -- like a sponge.' While many might be skeptical about teens sitting still for long periods, she says the teenagers who attend her sessions stay focused and perform well. They 'build great tools to cope with difficulties and challenges when they face all the worldly hassles,' she says.
