Meditation
Class
You have all heard or experienced that meditation can give us a
quieter, calmer demeanor, a clearer and more methodic mind, and
a more energized body. However, many people find it a challenge
to keep the mind quiet and clear during meditation. We invite you
to join a form of meditation that keeps your mind free from distractions
and allows you to remain focused through deep breathing and Buddhist
chanting. This form of meditation has been practiced for thousands
of years in the East. Not only does it help you clear your mind,
but also the deep breathing helps you control and regulate your
Qi (energy). Keeping a clear and open mind and utilizing deep and
long breathing are the major aspects of meditation that rejuvenate
our body, mind and spirit.

has practiced meditation for nearly 10 years following his master
who is the Disciple of famous Ji cheng and Qing Ding monk, Ge Jia

veteran practice, calm conduct, and academic experience can guide
you to feel the true spiritual mind and pure physical body.
