EACH TUESDAY EVENING WE HAVE MEDITATION LED BY CHAN MONK DA XING FASHI. THE MEDITATION INCLUDES CHAN (ZEN) SITTING, WALKING, AND EXERCISING. ALL LEVELS ARE WELCOME; NO EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED. AT UNIVERSAL CHAN WE DO A WIDE VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES RANGING FROM THOSE MORE COMMONLY PRACTICED IN MANY BUDDHIST CENTERS, SUCH AS SITTING MEDITATION, TO LESSER KNOWN METHODS SUCH AS EXERCISE AND WALKING CHAN. WE TYPICALLY START WITH A SHORT SERVICE, AND THEN PROCEED TO MEDITATION. DURING CLASS, WE MAY ALTERNATE BETWEEN DIFFERENT MEDITATION ACTIVITIES, SUCH AS PRACTICING 20 MIN OF SITTING MEDITATION, 10 MIN OF WALKING MEDITATION, AND THEN 15 MIN OF EXERCISE MEDITATION.
