I took the beginner class and my Master Shifu is very kind to introduce me to Zen and always encourages me for practice. I have now finished the beginner class and can't wait to start the next term!

Bad neighbors, blaring noise while I'm trying nap. There's no reason they need to be so loud.

Great place to learn to about Zen and how to meditate. They have many different classes. Also, the Zen hall is a great place to go if you like to meditate. They also offer free vegetarian lunch and dinner. Just remember to be kind and leave a donation, even if it's just a couple of bucks:)

I knew about their free vegetarian dinners, and as I was hungry and needed food, I came here. The place where you eat (dinner is from 6:45-7:15) is kind of like a study hall, is quiet, and the screen projects points about how we can improve mindfulness, even while eating. I finished eating just around 7:30, and they rang the bell for meditation, so I decided to stay. It is good to meditate, because in meditating one puts away the distractions that take us away from observing, and from living in the present. It stretched me (mentally, not physically), but made me feel gratitude for that which I understand about Buddhism, and that contribution that its truths make to the circle of light and knowledge.
