Welcome to the 2025-2026 Dharma Studies Class of the Buddhadharma Studies Institute (BSI).
This class is an outreach of The Dharma Teacher Order, founded by the Venerable Thich Tri Hoang. The DTO is a group of monastics and lay people who follow the Vietnamese Zen (Thien) Buddhist tradition and are interested in:
- Making the Dharma available to the Western Hemisphere.
- Studying the Dharma (the teachings of the Buddha).
- Developing our spiritual practices.
We are respectful of all Buddhist traditions and all religious denominations, and welcome interaction with all of them.
