TOGETHER,
WAKING UP THE WORLD
We together, Wake Up the world,
Whether up to the mountains or down to the seas.
The Great Vow appeared completely,
Repaying the Buddha’s profound grace.
Embarking on this journey to fulfill
The Original Great Vow,
The Golden Light of the Dharma
Shines throughout the world.
Awakened Zen Master Thich Dieu Thien
Awakened Zen Master Thich Thong Hoi
Duyên hội ngộ nhiệm mầu trên đất lạ
Đã mở ra lồng lộng chốn đi về.
Và từ đó, cùng dong thuyền Bát nhã
Đón đưa người sớm giải thoát bờ mê
19 YEARS OF MERGING WITH THE GREAT VOW
After Zen Master Thich Dieu Thien Awakened in 2001, in the same year, she returned to Houston, where she helped many people to realize the capacity to Wake Up within themselves. From her Great Vow, after 2 years of Waking Up many people, seeing them earnestly develop the goal to Wake Up, Zen Master Thich Dieu Thien accepted their request to settle in Houston, and founded Universal Door Meditation Center in 2003.

In 2004, by chance, Awakened Zen Master Thich Dieu Thien met Zen Master Thich Thong Hoi, in Hawaii. Right away, they had the instant miraculous knowing that the other was Awakened and they had the same exact Awake living and the Great Vow to Wake Up the world. Upon Awakened Zen Master Thich Dieu Thien’s invitation asking him to come to Universal Door Meditation Center to join her in her mission, Awakened Zen Master Thich Thong Hoi accepted, their Great Vows merged, and they continue to Wake Up the world together.
The two Awakened Ones originate from the same source of Awake and the Great Vow, they appear in two different physical forms, using different tools to Wake Up the wisdom mind of all people, yet the destination that they take us to is the same… to merge with Awake Source and liberate the original human attachment.
The Awakened Zen Masters have traveled all over the world establishing Awake Sangha, Waking Up students tirelessly day and night, for each student to understand, realize, and experience the Awake Mind and the capacity to become the Awakened Mind and liberating the ego system.
In late 2013, the Awakened Zen Masters co-founded Suoi Tu Meditation Center, located on a beautiful 4-acre site in Dallas. Zen Master Thich Thong Hoi is the Awakened teacher of Suoi Tu Meditation Center.
The life of Zen Master Thich Dieu Thien, from birth to present, is only focused on Waking Up to break the cycle of birth and death, and continuing to help all people to Wake Up. Since 2001, Zen Master has came to each house, met each person, formed many Awake sangha groups, traveled to different parts of the world, interacted with many people from different races and religions… opened people’s minds at anywhere… in the Meditation Hall, at the train station, in the car, at the park, on the ferry, and even in the dining room and the kitchen… everywhere is the Zen Master’s teaching place, where she helps people realize and return to the Awake Mind within. With Unconditional Love to help people return to live with the Buddha nature, Zen Master’s mind-opening teachings penetrate directly to the heart, help people to break through their illusions and sufferings, and step by step help them realize the capacity to Wake Up already within and become one with Awake.
