Advanced Class

ADVANCED CLASS (MANCHESTER, UK)

SIGN UP FOR ADVANCED CLASS SITTING SESSIONS (UK) 

Advanced Class is the ongoing series for students to continuously practice  Doubting Meditation or huatou (Chn. huatou, Jpn. wato, Krn. hwadu) to advance their Zen practice. Besides watching the weekly Advanced Class video series on the Online Zen School, students attend the weekly Sitting Sessions, Monthly Retreats, and annual 5-to-10-day retreats. Students are also supposed to participate the Center’s events and even daily operation to apply their Zen practice in the day-to-day life. After learning and practicing Zen meditation in the Center for six months, students may apply for discipleship and join the Disciple Training Program including the Instructor Certification Training. Please feel free to contact us at friend@nonezencenter.org if you have any questions about Disciple Program.

Due to the lack of resources, currently, we can only afford Zoom Sitting Sessions and Monthly Retreats in the UK time zone. The Sitting Sessions will take place on most Saturdays from 8-8:45am and the Monthly Retreats (half-day), 7-8:45am. The monthly retreats serve as a checking point to evaluate meditators’ practice of that month. Shifu (Teacher or Master) Linda or Shifu Jeremy will lead the guided meditation and group sharing and accept questions or give lectures at the end of each session and retreat.

Besides the UK classes, Shifu Linda and Shifu Jeremy lead real-time Zoom sitting sessions for practitioners in two other time zones, San Jose, California (UTC-8 or UTC-7 for daylight saving time) and Taiwan (UTC+8). You may find the sitting session calendar and sign up for the classes of your desired time zone(s) to receive the class updates, reminders, and Zoom links.

  • Find the class calendar for San Jose (UTC-8 or UTC-7 for daylight saving time) sitting sessions (Hybrid class: Zoom class and in-person class are available on Saturdays 10-10:45am).
  • Find the class calendar for for Taiwan (UTC+8) sitting sessions (Hybrid class: Zoom class and in-person class are available on Saturdays 10-10:45am). 

Tuition Free
We provide tuition-free meditation classes, but we do ask that you consider providing a donation. The None Zen Center is run entirely by donations. It is the loving gifts from our teachers, students, and friends which create a tuition-free learning environment for Zen meditation, and so will your generosity surely pass on the same love to others.

We recommend a £40 donation for each set of the Advanced Class, but donations of greater and lesser sums are all appreciated. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.

You may donate online or give the gift at the Center.

Donate Button with Credit Cards

When you complete your donation, you will receive a prompt receipt from PayPal. We will provide you with an annual receipt between January 10 to February 20 for the gifts we receive from you the previous year due to the lack of resources. If you need to receive the receipts earlier, please email us at friend@nonezencenter.org.

Class Calendar
The course will take place on the following dates and each class will start sharp at 8 am and monthly retreat at 7am. Please log into the Zoom meeting 5 to 10  minutes early to prepare yourself for the class. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at friend@nonezencenter.org.
