About Us


 

 

Middle Land Chan Monastery
- Branch Monastery in Pomona (Los Angeles), CA

To bring the Buddha's compassion and wisdom to Pomona, Venerable Master Wei Chueh, founding Abbot of Chung Tai Chan Monastery and approximately 108 Zen Centers in Taiwan and overseas, established Middle Land Chan Monastery in April 2008. Since inception, the branch monastery has been a refreshing spring for the spirit, welcoming people of all cultures and faiths or no faith. In a tranquil environment, people learn the ageless wisdom of Buddhism, discover the joy of meditation, and uncover the "Buddha Nature" within all of us.

Chung Tai Chan Monastery
and the Grand Master Wei Chueh

In the Grand Master Wei Chueh' s compassionate vow to provide a complete environment for all who wish to learn the Buddha Dharma, Chung Tai Chan Monastery opened its doors on September 1, 2001, initiating a new era for the propagation of Buddhism.
"The Buddha Dharma is here in this world; there is no enlightenment apart from the world." To establish a Pure Land on earth, Chung Tai is actively involved in bringing the wisdom of the Buddha to the local communities.
