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 introduced myself to you last week in Beaumont. I had read articles about you and was very inspired by your journey. Thank you for the card that shared your website. It is very inspirational. Is the meditation classes only for men? Peace be with you! Madelyn

Madelyn,
Thank you for your kind words. The classes meet every Wednesday evening at 7:00pm and are open to everyone. I hope you have a chance to attend. We meet at about 7:00 and socialize for a few minutes, then proceed to the meditation room. After meditation we drink fresh brewed hot green tea and eat popcorn and munchies. It is definitely a west meets east kind of thing. I look forward to seeing you. Thanks again. BK
