We provide monthly daylong/half-day retreats and annual 5-to-9-day retreats to advance students’ Zen practice.
The daylong/ half-day retreats serve as a monthly checking point to remind students to continue making progress on the way toward enlightenment. Shifu (Teacher/Master) Linda and Shifu Jeremy will lead the guided meditation and group sharing and accept questions at the end of the monthly retreats.
Annual retreats are intensive training to help practitioners deepen their Zen experiences, break through the forms of duality, and see the true nature of self within a set time period. Each year, we provide annual 5-or-more-day Zen Retreats mainly for students in the Advanced Class and Disciple Program yet reserve some seats for practitioners interested in joining the training.
We will be practicing Doubting Meditation or huatou (Chn. huatou, Jpn. wato, Krn. hwadu) in our sitting sessions, monthly daylong/half-day retreats, and annual retreats. If you are new to this meditation method, you may sign up for the Online Zen School and enroll in Bridging Class for the introduction to Doubting Meditation.
We provide vegetarian meals in Daylong and Annual Retreats. Annual Retreat participants will be required to pay for the retreat fees (mainly board and lodging expenses), however, all classes provided by the None Zen Center are tuition-free. We do ask that you consider providing a donation. Your gifts make it possible for us to keep the None Zen Center operating, and for people to learn and practice Zen continuously.
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.
* Prior registration is a must. Please contact us at friend@nonezencenter.org if you are interested in joining the monthly daylong/half-day or annual retreats.
