Tibetan monk comes to McNeese

             Port Arthur TX. Seems an unlikely place to find an honest –to-goodness Buddhist monastery and, that’s where you’ll find Reverend K. and his ‘mindful’ followers.  Each Wednesday evening Reverend K conducts a meditation class for anyone who feels so moved.  Dr Carrie Chrisco invited him to speak in her intercultural class last week.  He spoke of his path and answered questions about faith and practice.  A short video is currently being edited and will be posted soon.
