American Chan is coming to the Bay Area. Learn to meditate with Master YongHua
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Chan Meditation is the most advanced form of Mahayana Buddhist meditation. Passed down directly from the Buddha through his lineage of Patriarchs to the present, the power of Chan Meditation has been taught to seekers of enlightenment in Asia for thousands of years.
“Chan Meditation Beyond Mindfulness” presents these ancient skills to the West in an accessible, easy to follow format so we call it "American Chan". From the basic stretches to the all-encompassing foundations of Buddhism, Chan Master YongHua and his disciples will reveal the extraordinary method of Chan Meditation, which can benefit all people, regardless of their religious affiliation.
Why meditate?
we focus on developing your concentration power which will provide an immediate and practical application to your life, enhancing your work and daily routines. As your concentration power grows, you will become calm and centered. You will become healthier and function more effectively at whatever you put your mind to. We follow the tradition of Wei Yang lineage, one of five Chinese Chan schools transmitted by Grand Dharma Master XuanHua. We adapt Chinese Chan training methods to the Western culture and call it "American Chan".
Note
This class is free and open to public. It’s designed to benefit everyone from different traditions, religions and ages. Instructions will be given according to your level from beginners to advanced meditators.
