What is Chan Meditation?
Chan meditation is the most advanced form of Mahayana Buddhist meditation. We follow the tradition of Wei Yang lineage, one of five Chinese Chan schools transmitted by Grand Dharma Master Hsuan Hua. We adapt Chinese Chan training methods to the Western culture and call it “American Chan”.

Guest Speaker: Venerable XianJie
Master XianJie has been studying Buddhist meditation since 1998. After practicing Japanese Zen for 10 years, he encountered Chan meditation in 2010 and a few years later decided to become a monk under Master YongHua, founder of Bodhi Light International. Venerable XianJie now lives at Wei Mountain Temple, in Rosemead, CA, devoting his life to the practice and study of Mahayana Buddhism. In addition, he earned a Master’s degree in philosophy of consciousness from UC Irvine in 2008.
