A Message from Bhante Kassapa
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.
Bhante Kassapa
