After Enlightenment, most would expect a book to come immediately.
But for 25 years, there was no autobiography — only a living dedicated to the Great Vow to awaken the whole world.

Traveling. Teaching. Awakening hearts. Meeting people wherever they were.
Helping thousands experience the Awakened Mind directly — not through words, but through living truth.

This video shares the deeper reason why the book is only now coming into the world…
and why the timing could not have been sooner.

Sometimes a book is not written when the story begins —
but when humanity is ready to receive it.

Watch and discover the profound journey behind the pages...

Why Did It Take 25 Years for this Book to Appear? Awakened Zen Master Thich Dieu Thien

1-Day Awakened Meditation Retreat
April 18, 2026
Universal Door Meditation Center (UDMC)

On April 18th, we hosted a 1-Day Retreat at UDMC under the guidance of Awakened Zen Master Thich Dieu Thien.

Some participants arrived already sensing that Awakened Zen Master Thich Dieu Thien is someone far beyond ordinary understanding. Others simply came looking for meditation. By the end of the day, everyone had touched something deeply transformative.

After watching “25 Years of Enlightenment and Awakening the Buddha Nature in Humanity,” hearts opened quickly. Participants felt a strong connection to the Awakened Five Natures and were deeply moved by the purity, serenity, and Great Vow of the Awakened One.

After witnessing the Clear Water demonstration, they were further moved by the Awakened Tools of the Awakened One, discovering that we are the "True Mind" — not the “false mind” that controls us moment to moment. For many, this was a profound release and a turning point.

Eating Meditation was a first for most — being fully present with food, feeling the love and care behind its preparation, and tasting every flavor in stillness. There came another breakthrough: realizing we are not the voices, news, stress, or anger — we are what can see those things.

Chanting meditation - very new to all - brought some profound sharing when they realized how vast and immense the Awakened World is!

By the end of the day, each participant had connected with one or more of the Awakened Five Natures and expressed a strong intention to continue carrying the connection and to apply the different meditations in their daily lives, with the intention of returning for a Sunday session or another retreat to continue the Awakened journey.

One participant beautifully shared:
“When you enter through the gates, you feel the serenity and calmness. Then you meet the Sangha — you feel the love and community support. Then you meet the Awakened One — it's everything. All the suffering falls apart, and you feel clear, bright, and joyful.

Thank you, dear Awakened Ones, for giving us the opportunity to facilitate the retreat, and to continue to awaken our Awakened purpose in every moment: our True Mind, liberate the false mind, and to keep moving to your Awakened Five Natures.

✨On April 8, 2001, at Suan Mokkh — Thailand,
Bhikkhuni Thích Diệu Thiện
fully merged with the Supreme Light Source —
nothing was attained.

In that profound stillness,
the “house-builder” was penetrated —
the root of all delusion and attachment.

Without any intermediary,
the source of delusion collapsed.
Nothing remained to cling to.
No one remained to rely on.

The essence of mind shone by itself,
fully merging with the True Luminous Source —
never born, never dying.

The Five Essential Natures manifested.
And right there,
the luminous nature inherently present in all beings
was seen as it truly is.

From that moment, the great vow to liberate beings
arose without arising —
the light naturally radiating,
guiding all back to the Source of Awakening.

Within that very radiance,
the verse “The Smile Blossoms Forever on the Lips” was revealed.

We warmly invite you to join us for a day dedicated to stepping out of the noise of daily life and returning to Awakened stillness, a true happiness, and true freedom that has always been within you.

• Guided Awakened sitting and walking meditation
• Experiencing the True Mind and the false mind
• Step-by-step guidance to bring awakened living into everyday life

Under the compassionate guidance of 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗭𝗲𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗗𝗶𝗲𝘂 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗲𝗻, this retreat offers a gentle yet powerful space to:
• Release stress, anxiety, confusion, and fear
• Reconnect with the peace and happiness already within
• Experience what it means to live with the Awakened Mind

If your heart feels called, we would be honored to share this day with you.

✨✨A quiet moment. A sincere question. A heart speaking from direct experience.

Why trust Awakened One Thich Dieu Thien? Not because of titles or beliefs, but because the Awakened Light in her dissolves fear, attachment, and separation, revealing the completeness of our True Nature.

We invite you to pause, read, and feel the sincerity behind these words, and may your True Nature be awakened...

Marks the 25th anniversary of the moment of Enlightenment of the Awakened One, Thích Diệu Thiện.

A moment of stillness — shattering all ignorance.
A direct seeing — without any intermediary.
The light of Awakening arises — illuminating everywhere.

May each of us return,
directly realizing the Source of Light here and now, in this miraculous present reality.
