Ven. Kusala Bhikshu (Thich Tam-Thien) is an American born Bhikshu (monk) ordained in the Zen Tradition of Vietnam.
In 1979 Kusala became interested in Meditation, and found his way to the International Buddhist Meditation Center. In 1981 he took refuge, and accepted the five precepts of a lay Buddhist, and was given the name Kusala (skillful). In 1983 with a growing interest in Early Buddhism he began his studies with the Ven. Dr. H. Ratanasara at the College of Buddhist Studies, Los Angeles.
In 1994 Kusala took novice monk vows, and was given the Dharma name Kusala Ratana Karuna (skillful jewel of compassion). In 1996 he received full ordination as a Bhikshu (monk), and was given the name Thich Tam-Thien (heavenly heart mind).

You have truly been an inspiration for me. I am a 22 year old college student who works full time and goes to school full time as well. I started my practice and learning of Buddhism just a few months ago, and though I never have time for myself to read during the semester- your pod casts are always on during my car rides to and from during my busy busy days.
One day I hope to be able to be in a meditation or class with you. I live on the OTHER side of the US though. Maybe one day :)
Thank you for your inspiration. Blessings to you!
