Members of New Acropolis Chicago joined the Fit Mind Fit Body chess and ping pong club for an afternoon of friendly competition and personal growth. The gathering highlighted the connection between physical activity and mental discipline, with participants drawing inspiration from a timeless verse in the Dhammapada attributed to the Buddha: “It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles.” The event fostered both camaraderie and reflection, reminding attendees that true victory comes from self-mastery.
