#### Why Chan Meditation

There are many kinds of meditation methods out there but the real origin really goes back to its roots in Buddhism. Therefore, people in Asian cultures have always been more exposed to better knowledge on how to practice it. Although meditation has become more mainstream in the west, the practitioners can’t always find better solutions to resolve their problems or obstructions in their practices. Additionally, our world is becoming more stressful and unbearable, people have greater needs to look for more effective or better ways of practicing meditation.

The BLI instructors
These classes are taught by Buddhist monks and nuns from Bodhi Light International (BLI). BLI is a non-profit religious organization dedicated to the teachings of Mahayana Buddhism. The founder of BLI, Chan Master YongHua is an American Buddhist monk currently residing in California. He has been training over 20 monastic disciples with different nationalities and ages. Although his disciples have very diverse backgrounds, they share a common passion for cultivation, hoping to realize their fullest potential by devoting their lives to the service of others.
BLI’s instructors are trained to provide individualized guidance so that each person can find the most appropriate methods for their current situation or level through these classes. BLI’s instructors have been trained to teach the new generation or the Westerners unlike the traditional or older Buddhist style.

What to expect?
You will receive simple and direct instructions during this class so that you can try the practice together. During these classes, you can freely ask questions and discuss difficulties from your daily practice. Then the instructor will be able to provide answers and solutions that are more specific for you.

Why Chan meditation?
We often associate meditation with relaxation or feeling good. Meditation can be a lot more than that. If you don’t seek the comforts or peace from your practice, you will improve much further and experience much greater results. That’s why it’s important for you to understand that you can always improve more in your spiritual practice. Only hard work and consistent effort will produce genuine results in meditation training.
