The best place to practice mindfulness and meditation and being better version of yourself. I highly recommend it.
Went with my mom and daughter last weekend for the first beginner meditation class. They do these Saturday classes for free, open to the public. We ended up showing up late and unprepared and I was super nervous, having never done anything like this before. The ladies at the entrance were so friendly and welcoming and immediately put us at ease while directing us. The class was amazing too. Sifu started it by having us all introduce ourselves and invited some of the long-time students to share their stories. During the class, he explained everything in detail and was very patient and just had a super calming presence overall. After the class, they provided a delicious vegetarian lunch, also free of charge, and explained the ettiquette there too (take what you need, no food waste, wash your own bowl after). Very grateful to have found this temple, and I'm excited to go back this weekend! 10/10 recommend to anyone interested in learning meditation 🧘♀️🤍
Great food, nice people, and amazing dharma teachers! ❤️🙏🧘🪷
Very calming and peaceful environment, great meditation classes (for free, English and Mandarin, all levels from beginner to advanced), and also vegan meals (also free and delicious). Volunteering is encouraged to help support the center and you get more out of giving back. Amituofo 🙏🏻
I look forward to meditation at the Zen Center ! It’s a calm peaceful place and the guided meditation gives a head start to the rest of the week. Everyone is friendly, helpful and serve a hot meal made with so much love!
