Free to Public Beginner's Zen Meditation Class Offered by True Buddha-Dharma Center

San Gabriel, CA, September 15, 2015 (Newswire.com) - True Buddha-Dharma Center, a non-profit organization, will offer a series of classes for beginner's Zen meditation class and practice at its San Gabriel location starting this September, on every Sunday's afternoon from 2:00 through 5:00, taught by instructor Hsu.

Zen is a Dharma method. It is one type of Dharma practice that is part of the Buddha-Dharma and taught by the Buddha. However, this Dharma practice is independent. Nonetheless, the essence of this Dharma practice relates to the practice of any Dharma method.

To put it concisely, Zen is the absolute truth. The absolute truth is something that never perishes, or when consciousness that differentiates or discriminates changes into a state in which consciousness does not differentiate or discriminate. Therefore, one will never find Zen by using consciousness. Instead, by using the mind to intentionally search, Zen will emerge. A type of practice method is necessary to find Zen; however, Zen itself is not a practice method. By meditating, one can find, obtain, and realize Zen.

There are a great many aspects of Zen. Other than the states of the four kinds of Zen and eight kinds of Samadhi, there are many methods to reach awakening or enlightenment. Each of those methods is different. The relative level of each method is also different. The goal is to understand is what Zen is by engaging in Zen practice. "The goal is to attain introspection, enlightenment, to understand the mind and see the original nature", as instructor Hsu explained. Hsu also highlighted the importance of it such that "You want to see your own original nature that was not born and does not perish!". Participants engage in Zen for the purpose of realizing original nature, emptiness, or dharmakaya.
