We’ll walk from the parking lot to the de Young Museum, covering a scenic 2-mile route filled with casual conversation and reflection. During the walk, we’ll find a serene spot for sitting meditation or gather at the de Young Café (Terrace) for snacks and meditation. We can decide together where to practice meditation.

Hike and Meditation
Explore Golden Gate Park with monks from Dharma Treasury Temple, a branch of Bodhi Light International (BLI). Whether you’re new to meditation or an experienced practitioner, our trained teachers will help you build a solid foundation and guide you through challenges. American Chan meditation emphasizes self-improvement and personal growth in all areas of life. With dedication, you’ll deepen your Samadhi (concentration) and notice improvements in mental and physical health, productivity, creativity, relationships, and problem-solving skills.
Engage with Our Monks
Feel free to ask questions and engage in casual conversations about spiritual practices and meditation with our local Buddhist monks. They are open to discussing their practices and experiences.
