Universal Chan is expanding to the South Bay/Silicon Valley/San Jose! We invite everyone in this area to come practice Chan (Zen) meditation and experience all the benefits and improvements to our lives that Chan has to offer! Suitable for all levels. We are starting off with a summer program series.

Our San Jose Dharma with Meditation classes, led by Chan Master Daxing, are held in-person every Tuesday evening from 7pm-9pm at a Universal Chan member's house. The house is located near the intersection of Willow St. and Bird Ave. in San Jose. After you register to attend this class, we will email you the exact address of the location.

Proof of vaccination is required in order to participate in these classes.

To officially sign up for these classes, please complete the following steps:

1. Sign our Universal Chan Waiver: https://app.hellosign.com/s/Is7L3vLp

2. Upload your COVID-19 Vaccine Record here: tinyurl.com/vaccinecardupload (Or bring your proof of vaccination with you in-person so that we can check it at the entrance.)

3. Register here on Eventbrite for each class you will be attending.

All our classes, events, and activities are donation-based. Your generosity will help us to continue to serve humanity. The minimum donation requirement for this class is $15. In order to participate in this class, please make your donation ($15 minimum) on Eventbrite when you register/checkout the ticket.

Alternatively, for each class you can either make your donation through the Eventbrite checkout ahead of time when you register, or hand in your cash or check donation in an envelope to a Universal Chan staff member when you first arrive at the house, before class starts. Your donations are tax-deductible. Thank you.

Our San Jose Dharma with Meditation classes will include a wide variety of meditation activities, such as sitting Chan, walking Chan, exercise Chan, stretching Chan, and recitation Chan. We typically start with a short Buddhist service, proceed to Dharma talk, and then do some Chan meditation activities. During class, we may alternate between different meditation activities, such as practicing 20 min of sitting meditation, 10 min of walking meditation, and then 15 min of exercise meditation, for example. Depending on each class, we will meditate either outdoors, indoors, or both.

Please email info@universalchan.org if you have any questions.

Looking forward to seeing you in class!

Reminder: Because we'll be meditating outdoors, please dress appropriately for the weather (e.g. bring an extra jacket to cover up if it gets chilly, or a hat if you need).
