Activities include moving meditation, silent sitting and Dharma discussions. Meditation cushions and towels will be provided. The sessions are free of charge and donations are welcome.

Note to beginners:
Although the methods of meditation are simple and straightforward, it is best to practice them under the guidance of a teacher. Without a teacher, a meditator will not be able to correct beginner’s mistakes, which if uncorrected, could lead to problems or lack of useful results. Kindly give us a call a day before if you come for the first time.
Do you find it hard to keep up with the pace of change? Our fast-paced lifestyle has its conveniences but it has also produced stress and anxiety as by products. You might find that our simple actions and interactions with other people often result in vexations. If unchecked, these stress, anxiety and vexations could build up resulting in serious disruption to our lives. Chan meditation provides solutions to help us deal with them. It uses Chan concepts and methods that fit well with our daily activities without altering our lives, but in a way bringing peace to the mind and joy in life.
We welcome you to attend our Beginner’s Meditation Class. It covers the prerequisite conditions when preparing for meditation, proper sitting postures, techniques for relaxation, and basic methods of concentration. Plus other supporting techniques to regulate the body, mind, and spirit such as self-massage, yoga exercises, and daily mindfulness techniques. You will not only learn sitting meditation but also breathing, walking, standing and sleeping meditation. The Beginner’s Meditation Class is conducted once a year over 2 consecutive Saturdays from 9:00am to 5:00pm. It is simple, relaxing and safe to learn. After completing the class, you will be set to begin your daily practice at home. You are also welcome to attend our weekly group practice on Friday.
Information for upcoming class will be posted here when available.
