Established in 1988 and located in the sunny city of Riverside, Southern California with beautiful snow-capped mountains in winter, Thich Ca Zen Monastery is known not only as a Theravada Buddhist monastery under the direct guidance and instruction of Venerable Zen Master Kim Trieu , but also as a place that always helps monks, nuns and practitioners through organizing regular Mindfulness meditation courses .

At the age of over 96 and over 76 years old, the Great Elder Zen Master Khippapanno Kim Trieu, the abbot of Thich Ca Zen Monastery , can be said to be one of the rare Zen Masters in the world today who has complete virtue and experience in all four methods of practicing the Four Foundations of Mindfulness: Body, Feelings, Mind, and Dharma.

Over the past 35 years since its establishment, with the aim of supporting those who have a good affinity with Buddhism, regardless of race, religion, or sect, regardless of whether they are monks or laypeople, not just for people of any country or period, Thich Ca Zen Monastery, in its peaceful and serene setting, is always open to those who want to come here to practice the Buddha’s Dharma as well as practice the Four Foundations of Mindfulness.
