Develop your true strength. Not physical — mental.
Chan trains a mind that does not collapse in the face of failure, that can endure difficulties and keep moving forward with focus and patience.

"Los maestros de meditación competentes tienen muchos conocimientos... Los Buenos Consejeros Conocedores, por otro lado, pueden reconocer dónde se encuentra y qué hace falta para llevarlo a niveles más altos."

Cada uno de nosotros recorre un camino único. Un maestro sabio nos encuentra donde estamos y nos muestra el siguiente paso hacia la liberación.

A healthy body and a calm mind are possible — one step at a time.

Yesterday at the temple, Venerable XianPu guided a gentle yoga session to relax the body and prepare the mind. Master XianXin then taught meditation technique and explained why focusing on the dan tian helps stabilize concentration.

You are warmly invited to nurture both body and mind with us.

🔔 Reminder: Only 4 classes left this week — Monday Feb 2, Wednesday Feb 4, Friday Feb 6, and Saturday Feb 7 at 6 pm. We look forward to practicing together.

Last Thursday in our class with Venerable XianPu, we learned the correct meditation technique by placing attention on the navel area (dan tian).
We began by sharing our concerns in a safe and supportive space, receiving compassionate guidance.
Then we recited Amitabha’s name to deepen concentration before settling into silent meditation together.
This practice nurtures emotional balance, mental clarity, and a steadier heart in daily life.
Join us every Thursday at 12 pm PST / 9 pm CEST.

Stop allowing your energy to leak
In Chan practice, we speak of “leaks”: emotions that drain our energy, even when they feel pleasant.
In this Dharma Glimpse, we reflect on suffering, emotional ups and downs, and how to live fully without running away from life or exhausting ourselves.

👉 Reflection question:
Which emotions tend to drain your energy the most?

Last weekend at Gold Forest Chan Meditation Center, we shared living teachings and simple moments of community.

We listened to Master YongHua’s Dharma talks on the Sutras, with many thoughtful questions from participants, creating a warm and interactive atmosphere. We also shared lunch as a community, with volunteers and members cooking, serving, and cleaning together.

On Sunday, we held the Great Compassion Repentance ceremony, a sincere way to purify past karma and nurture virtue in the present.
