Advanced Class, Taiwan
The Advanced Class is an ongoing 6-session course series designed for practitioners who are dedicated to advancing their Zen practice.
Each course of the series consists of three lecture classes and three sitting meditation sessions. The lecture classes are real-time online classes meeting on Wednesdays 9:30 pm – 10:15 pm. Shifu (Teacher/Master) Linda or Shifu Jeremy will lead practitioners through Zen doctrines to build up the right view (correct concepts) of Zen and Zen meditation, to ensure that practitioners are working on the right track of Zen meditation.
The first two sitting meditation sessions are held on Saturdays 8:30 am – 9:30 am, and the 3rd session is originally a monthly daylong retreat, but now a half-day retreat on Saturdays 8:30 am – 12:00 pm amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Most of the sitting sessions are outdoor meditation classes, as long as the weather/condition allows.
The Advanced Class is an ongoing course. Students are highly recommended to take the course continuously to advance their Zen practice. After learning and practicing Zen meditation in the center for six months, students may apply for discipleship and join the Disciple Training program.
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$1,000 donation for each set of the six-session Advanced Class provided in our Tainan Center, but donations of greater and lesser sums are all appreciated. No one will be turned away.
Please feel free to contact us if you are interested in joining the Advanced Class or Disciple Program.
The class will be held on the following dates. If you’ are interested in joining this class, please contact us.
