Seon Meditation in English

Learn Mahayana Seon (禪) Meditation in English and Spanish

Every Sunday at 9 AM (Madrid Time) — Online Class

An international meditation class on Mahayana Seon (禪) is held every Sunday at 9 AM (Madrid time), accessible online. The class is led in English by Venerable XianAn(or XA), a Buddhist nun originally ordained in the United States, with live Spanish interpretation by Venerable XianShou. Participation is open to all—regardless of religion, nationality, age —and the program is completely free of charge.

Seon (禪) meditation, the core meditative discipline of Mahayana Buddhism, is drawing

growing interest across the U.S., Europe, and Asia. Unlike commonly known practices such as mindfulness, vipassana, or loving-kindness meditation, Seon offers a stronger foundation, deeper training methods, and a long-term path to cultivating samadhi—the power of meditative stillness and clarity. Rather than chasing temporary calm or relaxation, Seon aims to transform the mind through disciplined practice.

According to Venerable XianAn, “To make real progress in Seon (禪), we must go through many internal challenges. That’s why a qualified teacher with real practice experience is essential. Especially for people raised in modern or Western cultures, constant encouragement and clear instructions are key to long-term growth.”

This class includes students from Spain, the U.S., Germany, France, the Netherlands, and beyond. Interpretation in French, German, or Portuguese can be arranged upon request.
