Beginner’s Class

Screen Shot 2020-09-17 at 10.59.03 AM

THE BEGINNER’S ZEN CLASS IS GOING HYBRID! (SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA)

Sign up for the Beginner’s Class! 

Welcome to meditate with us at San Jose Center. You may attend the in-person Beginner’s Class at 1680 The Alameda, Ste C, San Jose, California, or join us remotely via Zoom. Learn basic Zen concepts, practice three meditation skills, and create a regular sitting habit in this 3-session course. The series will take place on Saturdays 9-9:45am (UTC-8 or UTC-7 for daylight saving time). The tuition is free; donations are welcome. Limited seats are available; advance registration is required. Please note that we do NOT accept walk-in students. Sign up for your friends or families if they want to attend the in-person classes with you. Email us at friend@nonezencenter.org if you have any questions. 

You will learn different meditation skills in each session, so try to not miss a single session. As an incentive, we will provide students who join the in-person Beginner’s Class 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. 

If the class time slots do not fit your schedule, you may want to enroll in our Online Zen School‘s Class to watch the class videos on demand. 

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 US$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.  

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 9am. Please arrive or 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.
