Bridging Class, San Jose, California

[San Jose, CA] Dear friends, we have decided to cancel all of the in-person Zen classes and meditation sessions again at our San Jose Center, California, as of Tuesday, Nov 16th, 2020, until further notice.

We will provide real-time Zoom meditation sessions on Saturdays, Nov 21st, Dec 5th, and Dec 12th from 10 am to 10:45 am. We will also continue our real-time Advanced Class on Wednesdays, Nov 18th, Dec 3rd, and Dec 10th from 7:15 pm to 8 pm. Please contact us at friend@nonezencenter.org if you are interested in joining us for the sitting sessions or Advanced Class.

As for Zen beginners, please enroll in our Online Zen School AND the Beginner’s and Bridging Class to learn basic Zen concepts and meditation methods https://nonezencenter.teachable.com/. 

After the holiday season, we will resume the real-time sitting sessions from Jan 23, 2021. Please find the class calendar below and sign up for the Bridging Class.

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

Sincerely Yours,
None Zen Center


The Bridging Class is designed for students who have completed the Beginner’s Class in the Center, or have learned meditation before but want to learn a new meditation skill. The aims are to help students get familiar with the method of doubting meditation or huatou (Chn. huatou, Jpn. wato, Krn. hwadu), enhance the right view about Zen and Zen meditation, and build up a regular sitting habit.

The Bridging Class consists of 3 lecture classes and 3 sitting meditation sessions. We provide the lecture classes online. You may find the lecture classes by signing up for the Online Zen School AND enrolling in the course Beginner’s Zen Class and Bridging Class at https://nonezencenter.teachable.com/.

The sitting meditation sessions are held on Saturdays at 10 am – 10:45 am. After a 15-to-30 minute sitting session, Shifu (Zen Master) Linda or Shifu Jeremy will lead the group sharing and accept questions. Most of the sitting sessions are outdoor meditation classes, as long as the weather/condition allows.

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 $60 donation for the Bridging 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.
