What is Chan Meditation?
- Meditation is understood as self-cultivation, a process of working with our mind and body to develop focus and clear perception.
- Chan is the precursor of Zen. It is the Chinese translation of the Sanskrit word dhyāna means the meditative state.
- Chan teaching directly points to the ultimate truth, the nature of mind, or who we are. There are two unique Chan meditation methods you may heard of: Hua Tou (Japanese: wato), and Silent Illumination (Japanese: shikantaza).
- Chan practice focuses on cultivating mindfulness, compassion and wisdom in our busy daily living. Practice being able to relax and be content at every moment.
