THICH DIEU THIEN
Respectfully known as the Awakened One
Fully Awakened, completely liberating the source of attachment in 2001, and lives in the Awake Source with the Great Vow to Wake Up the Awake potential in all sentient beings to liberate suffering from the original attachment.
THE FIVE AWAKE NATURES
of Awakened Zen Master Thich Dieu Thien
In the moment of Awakening in 2001, from the Awake Source, the Five Awake Natures instantly appeared in
Awakened Zen Master Thich Dieu Thien. The original Awake Source that Awakened One Thich Dieu Thien lives in 24/7 emanates the pure Awake Essence which embodies infinite Wisdom, boundless Compassion, endless Awake Tools, and the Great Vow to Wake Up all sentient beings, regardless of background, gender, skin color, age, culture, or religion.
Seeing that every being has the capacity to Wake Up, but because ignorance, greed, and hatred cover their Awake potential. Awakened One Thich Dieu Thien stepped into the world with the Five Natures to Wake Up all sentient beings.

WAKE UP RETREATS
Awakened One Thich Dieu Thien has been awakening countless disciples and students, opening their wisdom mind, cutting through their stuck points, to realize, experience, and merge with Awake Source, and right there, the source of ignorance, delusion, and attachments falls apart.
Numerous Awake seeds, symbolizing the Awake potential within each sentient being, have been sprouted with the direct guidance from Awakened One Thich Dieu Thien. Through various forms of Wake Up meditation, activities, and projects in daily living such as sitting, walking, eating, interacting, and working, each student nourishes and cultivates the Awake seed within, in every moment. With the purpose to fully Wake Up and liberate original attachment, each student actively stands up, checking-in and asking for guidance. From the Five Natures, Awakened One Thich Dieu Thien thoroughly sees where each student is, purifies and continually upgrades them to the next level, until fully blossomed.
Along the Awake journey, witnessing the realness and transformations from the Wake Up moments, students inspire and support one another, coming together as water droplets, with only one purpose, to fully merge with Awake World, liberating the original attachment.
Wake Up, and Wake Up the whole world!
AWAKE SANGHA
WAKE UP MOMENTS
The Awake Sangha is comprised of nuns, monks, core students, and lay people of different ages, cultures, religions, and backgrounds. Each of us has experienced the Wake Up moment from Awakened Zen Master Thich Dieu Thien when she allowed us to fully merge with Awake World, liberating the original attachment.
Through that experience, three profound truths appeared: that Awake is real, that the Awakened One Thich Dieu Thien is truly Awakened, and that we have the original Awake seed within us and the capacity to Wake Up to liberate the source of suffering in this lifetime.
Each of our Wake Up moment is very unique and special.
