Skill is simply a reflection of where you have poured your hours. Arrogance arises when we confuse the time we've spent with inherent superiority. Remember that everyone you meet has devoted their time to a different path, mastering things you have not. Remain a student in all things.

"Body Shake" is an exercise where all of your internal organs vibrate together simultaneously. Your whole body must be completely relaxed, letting go of all tension, especially in your lower belly.

Legend has it that when Grandmaster Bodhidharma traveled from India to China, he found the local monks in poor physical health due to long hours of seated meditation without physical activity. To help them, he introduced a series of exercises designed to harmonize their internal energy and strengthen their bodies.

While this video covers the physical forms, the true depth of this practice includes formless, spiritual elements. We warmly invite you to visit our Zen meditation center to learn these deeper aspects in person.

From Platform Sutra:

At that time there were two monks who were discussing the topic of the wind and a flag. One said, “The wind is moving.” The other said, “The flag is moving.” They argued incessantly. Hui Neng stepped forward and said, “The wind is not moving, nor is the flag. Your minds, Kind Sirs, are moving.” Everyone was startled.

People often ask if a vegetarian diet is required for Zen practice. If it were, we must also ask: what about anger and hatred? Holding onto resentment clouds the heart much more than eating meat ever could. Shouldn't a peaceful heart be the prerequisite instead?

Yesterday, on June 6th, Buddhaland on Earth hosted our second one-day retreat of 2026. 🌿✨

When we first gathered, the morning energy felt a bit heavy. But as the day unfolded—through deep explorations led by our wonderful teachers and quiet moments of shared meditation—a beautiful shift occurred. Breath by breath, our community grew lighter and brighter.

By the end of the day, the genuine smiles said it all! Just take a look at the joy captured in these photos from our Bay Area center in NorCal and right here at our Torrance center in SoCal. 📸☀️

Connecting across 8 US centers and groups and virtually from Europe, this was a day to deepen our roots with our inner hearts, with each other, and with the universal life force. I truly can't imagine a day better spent. 🙏💫

✨“Last Wednesday, I finally decided to stop reading about meditation and actually go do it... I walked out of the center feeling a sense of clarity and calm that I hadn’t realized I was missing.” ✨

A warm welcome to our newest member, Michael! We love hearing about profound experiences at the Center.

Michael shared how stepping in for the first time can feel intimidating, but noted that Hualian’s warm presence and tailored, real-time guidance helped him achieve a deeper, more meaningful meditation.

Ready to stop reading about meditation and actually go do it? Come experience your own sense of clarity and calm with us this week. 🧘🏻‍♀️🌿

When climbing a treacherous mountain, the most critical step is finding an experienced guide who has actually reached the summit.

Similarly, the most important part of Zen practice is finding an elightened shifu who knows exactly how to navigate the path to enlightenment in today's world.
