Support Taipei
None Zen Center aims to provide meditation places in convenient downtown locations for nine-to-fivers to practice Zen meditation regularly and consistently. The Center’s mission is to lead people to reveal their true nature, to get enlightened, and pass on the teaching of Chinese Zen tradition.
Our Taipei Center was founded in October 2012 and started to provide Zen classes and trainings from January 1, 2013. Later in 2015, we established our San Jose Center in California, USA and 2017, Tainan Center, in Tainan City, Taiwan (check our History). All classes provided by our meditation centers are free of charge. It is because the financial support of our teachers, students, and friends that we can afford to pay the rent for these 3 meditation centers and keep the centers operating.
We sincerely ask you consider providing a donation. Your gifts make it possible for us to keep the meditation centers operating and the Zen community growing. Your long term support will help to provide a place for people to learn and practice Zen meditation continuously.
Above all, we sincerely invite you to start your Zen practice at The None Zen Center. Practicing Zen with us and getting to know yourself, you will understand why people need a place like this.
