FATHER KASEM KEMAGO History Part-2

BUDDHIST MONK,WHOSE LIFE OF BLISS AND RELIGIOUS MEDITATION,
NEVER FAIL TO BE A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION.

   Part2..Father Kasem had practised meditation in several cemeteries until finally he decided to settle down at Trailak in Lampang.
His conduct and practice have drawn attention from several disciples.Phra Bhavanavisuthajarn of Wat Traimite commented:- “Father Kasem has always been highly devout. Even his ecclesiastical robe has not been changed indiscriminately nor his bowl which accepts food without considering that he should simply partake of it in order to survive and not be carried away by its taste and flavour.His shelter is simple and good enough to avoid strong sunburn and mosquitos.Even Medication is dealt with in the sense that he can separate mind from body. another path of deliverance from worldly suffering and woes”
“Another aspect is when Father Kasem finds [a[er scattered here and threr he would collect and habg it on trees.When ask why he did it that way he answered that alphabets and letters may lead people to Arahatship.the highest stage of deliverance.”
“So we should not contempt the paper which could be used to teach Dharma.His teaching is compared to Buddhist riddles which do not give direct answers not solutions.One requires mind and wisdom to reinterpret the meaning in order to discover a more profound path.”
Phra Bhavanavisuthajarn Vi,also observed:- “The Dharmahood
as realized by monks is not known by outsides except by the monks themselves,otherwise it should be devoid of meaning once it is explained as having reached the high stage of development.However,it may be chassified according to four levels;namely,Sodaban or person has attained enlightment;Sakitaka,person of great enlightment;Anakami,person who has renounced worldy pleasures and Arahat or person who has completely realized the four noble truths as discovered by Lord Buddha.Once he mentioned that Buddhadassa is the monk who has renounced worldly pleasures.It,therefore,is known far and wide that he realizes that Buddhadassa is an Anakami.He himself,therefore,should be at least an Anakami.”
Once their Majesties the King and Queen visited him and graciously supported and patronized him as well.Father Kasem has been a source of faith and a great follower of Buddha’s teachings,whose conduct has been incomparable and well-respected by people all over the country.
