I am Bhante Kassapa,
and welcome to 'From West to East'. I am a Theravada Buddhist monk,and currently residing in Buu Mon Buddhist Temple in Port Arthur, Texas. I am hoping that you enjoy your visit to the site. I teach Vipassana Meditation here at the temple along with a varied mix of duties. It is my wish that you will enjoy your stay, possibly experience a few things, and recognize the happiness that can be found inside yourself. You may e-mail me here or at bhante_kassapa@yahoo.com. Each of us is on a journey. We may lose our way a few times along the path but that's ok. You're here now, so breathe and peruse the images, read the postings and feel free to ask any questions that come to mind. I hope that whatever we try to accomplish here on'From West to East' that our first goal is to acknowledge real compassion is for all people without exception. Secondly, we wish to to teach the message of awareness, mindfulness and charity of self to all people. Finally,we would hope that you learn to love yourself and have peace. Wherever you go, always leave that place better, for you having been there.
I wish you Peace.

: I've found your umbrella. When I stand alone on the ground of Lotus Temple, all my mind for Rev. Huyen Viet, You, and Suchara.
: Thank you! You often write very interesting articles. You improved my mood.
: I miss you Rev. K
: The insight meditation and dhamma talk brings peace and happiness to me on a weekly basis. I want to learn more. Are there any retreats [...]
: Your words are inspirational. You are a very cool dude, dude. It's good to know you're in the place.
Seeking peace,
In prayer and meditation,
I do not call upon creation,
I answer.
To hear,
I turn inwards,
inside,
Into myself.
The voice of creation is more gentle
than snowfall
more quiet,
than candle flame,
more peaceful than sunset,
more still,
than the sounds of incense rising.
I breathe out sadness and sorrow.
I breathe in joy,
peace and contemplation.
No thoughts no sounds,
I am placid and contemplative.
I am still…
Bhante Kassapa
