Learn Chinese Through Mindfulness!

What if learning Chinese could also bring more calm, wisdom, and joy into your life? The Mindful Chinese Study Program is designed for beginners with little or no Chinese background. Through interactive lessons, you will learn practical Chinese vocabulary, pronunciation, and sentence patterns while exploring Chinese Buddhist culture and wisdom through songs, stories, and mindful activities. Whether you are interested in the Chinese language, Chinese culture, or Buddhism, we invite you to join us on a meaningful journey where language learning and inner growth go hand in hand. We recently completed Stage 1 and are preparing to launch Stage 2 at the end of September. Here is what some of our participants shared about their experience: “I am so happy to be part of the MPA Chinese class! I’ve been interested in studying Chinese through a structured curriculum for quite some time. The class combines practical Chinese learning with mindfulness concepts and Buddhist expressions, so I feel that I am not only expanding my knowledge of Chinese but also deepening my understanding of concepts related to my Buddhist practice. Another wonderful aspect is the opportunity for students to contribute through presentations, allowing us to share our own learning and knowledge with one another. This has empowered all of us to take part in each other’s learning. I’m so excited for what comes next!” — Cheenu, USA “Once I started studying Buddhism, I felt a strong need to better understand the Chinese language so that I could explore the deeper meanings behind certain words and concepts. I feel truly enriched by this program, which has given me another valuable tool for both my Buddhist practice and my personal life.” — Marco, Italy “I moved to China eight years ago, and while I’ve managed daily life in Chinese, I always struggled to talk about the deeper topics that truly matter to me—especially Chan Buddhism. The Mindful Chinese Program has been the bridge I was looking for. For the first time, I am learning Buddhist stories and vocabulary in a structured class environment. The content is not only educational but also deeply engaging and relevant to my daily spiritual practice. The class format has also been a game-changer for my pronunciation. I love having the opportunity to review and speak aloud, and Teacher Brenda’s specific, practical feedback has given me more confidence than I’ve had in years. This program has genuinely become my favorite way to learn Chinese.” — JR, USA “I joined the course because I wanted to improve my Chinese. I had been interested in Buddhism for a long time, but in the past it always felt somewhat distant from my everyday Western life. During a recent trip to China, I had the opportunity to visit several temples. Longhua Temple (龙华寺 — Lónghuá Sì) in Shanghai particularly touched my heart. Now I feel that Buddhism is becoming something closer to me—something that can truly become part of my life. The course offers a wonderful combination of language learning and Buddhist culture. The teachers are very patient and helpful, and I can’t wait to join the next stage!” — Aldo, Italy Interested in joining us? New class begins at the end of September.
