What we’re about
We offer free classes to teach Chan Buddhist Meditation to anyone who is interested in applying this life changing practice to their life. We specialize in using the Chan training techniques to increase our concentration power (Samadhi), whether in sitting or walking meditation. As our concentration grows stronger, our minds become calmer, less stressed, and more focused, enabling us to not only be healthier, but also function more effectively at whatever we put our minds to. (Chan is the meditation branch of Chinese Buddhism, which later became Zen in Japan.)
Our brand of "American Chan" meditation is based on the teachings of Master YongHua, founder of Bodhi Light International (BLI) and Wei Mountain Temple, in Rosemead, CA. Master YongHua has formulated the ancient teachings of Chinese Chan to be more accessible to Western culture.
We believe that through hard work, the proper methods of practice, and guidance from a wise adviser, everyone who cultivates should be able to make real progress. Master YongHua’s teachings provide us with practical methods to improve our lives and become better people.
