VENERABLE KUSALA BHIKSHU – URBAN DHARMA WEST

Urban Dharma West is a community that meets in Agoura Hills, CA the second Saturday of each month (dates below) to discuss Buddhism and related concepts. The group is facilitated by the Ven. Kusala Bhikshu and gathers at YogaEveryone for a Dharma talk, discussion and meditation.

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).

Kusala is a member of the Buddhist-Roman Catholic Dialogue of Los Angeles and the Interfaith Council of Garden Grove, Stanton, and Westminster. Kusala was Buddhist Chaplain for the University Religious Conference at UCLA and director of the University Buddhist Association at UCLA for eleven years.
