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 modern times and call it "American Chan".

Instructor: Shana Han

Shana Han is the founder and CEO of Hansderma, Inc. She has successfully established her business on her own after moving to the US. She is now a meditation instructor national wide. For the past years, Shana has dedicated her time to practice Chan and Mahayana Buddhism in order to overcome her personal struggles. Because she got so much out of this practice, she decided to share this wonderful experience with others. With her teacher’s help, Dharma Master YongHua, she started to teach Chan Meditation.

Important to know

Meditation will help you recharge your energy, balance the physical and mental health. For beginners, the basic instructions will be provided. For experienced meditators, you may join us for just the sitting or the entire duration. When we think of meditation, we automatically relate it to “relaxation” or “feeling good”. In fact, Chan Meditation, one of the most powerful meditation schools, advocates to sit and endure discomforts while meditating in sitting posture.
