What is Chan Meditation
Chan Meditation is one of the most powerful forms of meditation. Chan teaches participants how to increase concentration power, also known as samadhi power. In Chan training, the results are solid and concrete. By increasing samadhi, the mind becomes much more relaxed and peaceful and the body becomes much healthier.
It's an ancient meditation that is a central practice of Mahayana Buddhism. Chan utilizes many secret methods, most of which cannot be found in print, especially in English. These techniques have been handed down from Master to disciple in an oral tradition that has existed for more than 2,500 years, since the time of Shakyamuni Buddha, the founder of Buddhism.
We often associate meditation with relaxation or feeling good. However, if we only seek comfort in our meditation, we will not make progress. Only hard work and consistent effort will produce genuine results in meditation training. This meditation method is very effective for those who sincerely wish to make progress in their meditation and transform their lives.
If you are interested in attending Buddhist chanting/ceremony, please join our Pure Land Assembly from 9am to 10:30am on Sunday. You can follow and practice Buddha's name recitation at this session.
