Chan is the Chinese term for what became known in Japan as Zen. Chan meditation is a profound yet ultimately simple practice that encourages the practitioner to directly encounter his or her "original nature".

It emphasises an alert stillness, an "Illuminating Silence", which encourages clarity and openness, which in turn leads to the development of wisdom and deep compassion.

The Cambridge Chan Group meets on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month, at 7:30 p.m. at The Friends Meeting House, 91-93 Hartington Grove, Cambridge (off Hills Road).

Meditation instruction is available from an authorised instructor.
