Every **Monday evening** from **7pm–9pm** we have **Dharma talk & Meditation Class** led by **Master Daxing**. These Chan (禪) meditation classes are held **in person** at Universal Chan Center located at 445 Colusa Ave, Kensington, CA 94707. Before joining our first class, please do the following: 1\. Sign our Universal Chan Waiver: [app.hellosign.com/s/Is7L3vLp](https://app.hellosign.com/s/Is7L3vLp) All our classes, events, and activities are donation-based. Your generosity will help us to continue to serve humanity. With that being said, Dharma talks and Meditation Classes are free of charge. But if you'd still wish to make a donation, then we'd really appreciate it, and you may do so through [paypal.me/universalchan](https://paypal.me/universalchan), [donorbox.org/universalchan](https://donorbox.org/universalchan), or Venmo (our Venmo Charity Profile is [venmo.com/universalchan](https://venmo.com/universalchan) aka @universalchan). There is also a donation box at our Chan Center for cash or check donations. Your donations are tax-deductible. Thank you. 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 Dharma talk. After Dharma talk, we will have some time left for some sitting meditation. Please email info@universalchan.org if you have any questions. Looking forward to seeing you for Dharma talk and Meditation Class!
