I began going to the Torrance Zen Center over a year ago. I had always thought of Zen as something…read morefound in books, or from the past, or something a few other unusual people did in far-away places. Enlightenment seemed like an esoteric, out-of-reach goal, and not one I was necessarily interested in pursuing -- not understanding, it had always struck me as an ironically self-focused pursuit. A Zen state of mind, with balance and equanimity -- that seemed interesting. But through the people at the Torrance Zen Center I found that the Zen path is not about the mind, but very much of the heart, and all the compassion the heart is capable of. The practitioners follow the Greater Path, with the intention of helping anyone and everyone through Zen to manifest a better version of themselves. And Enlightenment? It's about helping other people. Becoming in sync with the Greatest Good, however the name given by one's language culture. While the foundational practitioners natively speak Mandarin or Cantonese, they all make a dedicated and successful effort to speak English in teaching, sharing, and casual interactions, for which I am deeply and profoundly grateful. They have graciously and continuously extended a warm, including welcome. I have occasionally felt "odd man out," but: my doing. Their generosity of heart always surges back and I relax a bit more. Shortly after beginning meditation practice, I noticed, to my surprise, that many people - some I knew and some I didn't - suddenly seemed more comfortable around me, eager to talk and share whatever was on their minds. Positive feelings and experiences began to dominate my life, all while retaining and improving family relations, growing friendships, and more easily establishing new connections with people. Life is short. Five Stars!

The meditais a very peaceful place. And the people overs there are very friendly. The location is…read morenot too far from the Torrance city hall and parking is free.

Meditation and mindfulness may not come easily to me but here, it's all so well curated, and the…read moreenvironment plus the lovely volunteers makes for a tranquil and positive experience as I explore ways to relax my busy brain. The interior is in quiet shades of pale yellows, oranges, wood and beautiful images in the meditation space. Be sure to come a bit early to settle in before the meditation, have a cup of tea. You don't have to sit on the floor there are plenty of chairs for the meditation session! There is a restroom inside, place to put your shoes (you may want some socks!), area to sit and chill before or after the meditation session. What makes this center so special are the kind and thoughtful volunteers. This is a place where you will feel the sense of community. This is a special joyful place and I highly recommend trying meditation session. Walkin is $15 so it's accessible! Street parking can be found nearby. TL/dr: come here to reach an internal awareness and inner peaceful practice

Not all meditation training is the same. There are so many places to learn meditation these days,…read moreand a lot of it is just watered down relaxation techniques and pop psychology. I chose Mahamudra KMC because it belongs to a Buddhist tradition that presents meditation in a way that is easily accessible to busy modern people. It's the real deal. Try it and see for yourself. :)
