Live Online Beginner’s Zen Class – welcome to join us from anywhere

We have moved all our San Jose Center’s in-person Zen courses online. In each live class, you will have real-time teaching, sitting meditation, and group sharing. We hope to bring practitioners from anywhere to the Zen community so that you would know that on the way to uncover your self-nature, you are not alone.

Check the class calendar below, sign up for the 3-session Beginner’s Zen Class to learn basic Zen concepts and three meditation skills, and you will receive an email notification with Zoom links to attend the classes. We look forward to meeting you in the live class.

When the condition allows, we will resume the in-person classes and continue providing the live courses.

If you won’t be able to join the real-time class, you may want to enroll in our Online Zen School AND the Beginner’s Class to learn the basic Zen concepts and meditation methods https://nonezencenter.teachable.com/.

If you have any question, please feel free to contact us at friend@nonezencenter.org.

Be healthy and stay safe. We look forward to meeting you soon at our San Jose Center.

Sincerely Yours,

None Zen Center

Beginner’s Zen Class is a 3-session course for newcomers to learn basic Zen ideas and meditation skills. You will learn different meditation techniques in each session of this 3-session course, so try to not miss a single session. As an incentive, we will provide you with a set of meditation gear, including a meditation cushion and backpack. The meditation gear is a gift from the Center. We sincerely hope you can start and continue your Zen practice with this Beginner’s Class. Advance registration is required. Please note that we do not accept walk-in students.

Tuition by Donation

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 $60 donation for this three-session Beginner’s Class, but donations of greater and lesser sums are all appreciated. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.

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

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.

Classes will be held on the following dates:
Please arrive 5 minutes early to get yourself ready. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at friend@nonezencenter.org.
