Bridging Class

Bridging Class and Live Online Sitting Sessions – 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.

The Bridging Class is designed for practitioners to get familiar with the skill of doubting meditation. It consists 3 lecture classes which you will need to enroll in the Online Zen School and the course to watch the class videos at home and 3 live sitting meditation sessions which you will need to log in to the Zoom meeting app for real-time teaching and group sharing.

Check the class calendar below, sign up for the Bridging Class, and you will receive an email notification with a link to join the WhatsApp group “None Zen San Jose.” After that, you will receive the class link before each session via WhatsApp to log in to the live Zoom class.

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

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


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 (Pacific Time). 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.

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.

Classes will be held on the following dates:
The class/sitting session will start sharp at 10am. Please arrive five minutes early to get yourself ready for the class. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at friend@nonezencenter.org.
