हम बुद्ध के ज्ञान में मूल रूप से बसे हुए हैं और हम उससे विच्युत नहीं होते।

Universal Chan operates mainly in Asia, Europe, and the USA, but we are open to be active in other countries as well. Compared to China or other Asian countries where Buddhism is a prevalent religion, the USA has only been exposed to Buddhism for less than a century. Many active Buddhist schools across the USA are of Hinayana, Vajrayana, Mahayana, Chan, Japanese Zen, and doctrinal studies. All these traditions come from different countries and consequently reflect cultural influences and inflections specific to their place of origin. Although Chinese Chan Tradition is present, we hope we can give our contribution to spread this wonderful teaching. It is a great pity that the vast majority of westerners have not been exposed to Chinese Chan, and even fewer people are able to use Chan Buddhism to improve their lives.

The goal of the organization and of its affiliations is to spread the Chan Teachings to deeply benefit those interested in learning the teachings of the Buddha.

In doing this, we use a modern approach rooted in ancient tradition to expose people to other aspects of ancient Chinese culture connected to this teaching.

*Chan (Japanese: Zen)

“यूनिवर्सल चान" चीन और भारत के आध्यात्मिक परम्पराओं पर आधारित है। चान को भारत से चीन अट्ठाईसवे भारतीय पितृ बोधिधर्म द्वारा लाया गया था। यह मन से मन के संचरण तथा जीवित प्राणियों के मन के सार पर ही केंद्रित है, ना कि शब्दों या सिद्धांतों पर, ताकि सभी सीधे बुद्ध बन सकें। "यूनिवर्सल चान" की बीज और जड़ें भारत में ही हैं। उसही सार को बरकरार रखते हुए चीन मैं उसके विकास, संचालन और पोषण से "एक विशेष स्वाद" की उत्पत्ति हुई, जो "चान" है। यहाँ अमेरिका में भी हम वही तरीके से विभिन्न परिवेश के अनुकूल अपने को ढलते हुए आगे बढ़ रहे हैं।"चान" सभी बुद्धों और सभी जीवों की आत्मा है। हम पहले से ही बुद्ध हैं, परंतु हम सो रहे हैं, केवल जागने की आवश्यकता है। बस यहीं जनाना है ।
