Support Taipei
The None Zen Center aims to provide meditation places in convenient downtown locations for nine-to-fivers to practice Zen regularly and consistently. The Center’s mission is to lead people to reveal their true nature, get enlightened, and pass on the teaching of the Chinese Zen tradition.
Our Taipei Center was founded in October 2012, and began providing Zen classes and training on January 1, 2013. Later, in 2015, we established our San Jose Center in California, USA and in 2017, our Tainan Center, in Tainan City, Taiwan. In 2020, we started our Zen Meetups in Manchester, UK. (see our History). All classes provided by the Center are free of charge, thanks to the support of our teachers, students, and friends, who all sustain the Center’s operations.
We sincerely ask you to consider providing a donation. Your gifts make it possible for us to keep the Center operating and growing. Your long-term support will help provide a place for people to learn and practice Zen 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.
The Taipei Center is a nonprofit organization. Your donation is tax deductible. We thank you for your generous gifts.
