Pu Min Center (Tai Chung)

http://ctworld.org.tw/108/pumin2/index.htm 英文禪修班 (English Language Meditation Class)

The Pu Min (普民) Center has an English language medication class which meets on Sundays at 7:00pm. I've never attended it, but I imagine that it is similar to the one at Pu De in Taipei.

English Meditation and Buddhist Theory Class

Although they don't have an English website, their English class meets on Saturday mornings at 9:30. Call before you go. They frequently cancel classes due to functions at the 中台禪寺 (Chung Tai Monastery) in Puli.
