Beginner’s Class, Tainan (199 Youai St., Zhongxi Dist, Tainan 700, Taiwan)
(Please note that this class will be conducted in English and for non-native Chinese speakers only.)

Beginner’s Zen Class is a 3-session course for newcomers to learn basic Zen ideas and meditation skills. The class meets weekly on Saturdays at 9:00am–9:45am. You will learn different meditation techniques in each session of this 3-session course, so try to not miss a single session. As an incentive, we will provide you with a set of meditation gear, including a meditation cushion and backpack. The meditation gear is a gift from the Center. We sincerely hope you can start and continue your Zen practice with this Beginner’s Class.

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 NT$800 donation for the three-session Beginner’s Class provided in our Tainan Center, but donations of greater and lesser sums are all appreciated. No one will be turned away for lack of donations.
