Meditation Berne – Cemetery Bremgartenfriedhof – Reexamine Life and Death again and again!
Welcome to the meditation Berne at the Bremgartenfriedhof. The contrast between living and dying can be felt very strongly in the cemetery and is therefore very suitable for re-examining one's own transience. To find the true self and the logos, the living word, so we can live fully and express our meaning of life.
The meditation takes place twice a year (spring & autumn).

Contemplation - Meditation Berne
When we talk about helping others, what we are saying you should do is enlighten yourself and then liberate others. Actually when you enlighten yourself you automatically liberate others. How is that possible? Buddha said that enlightening yourself is not different from liberating others. Why did he say that? He said it because there is no difference between you and others. Cause and effect are the same. Because if you don't know what to do yourself, how can you help others? You have to awaken yourself first, not because you come first; never confuse that one again.
When you try to under-stand your self, you have already committed two different mistakes; First, you cannot stand under your-self. Second, you are already your-self and there is no word for the self in you. (Zen Master Myo Vong)
Now if you have the idea of 'helping myself,' when you try to help yourself you will see nothing but the others, because you cannot find yourself.You should not allow yourselves to be lazy in the practice of giving, morality and patience. Whatever is noble and worthy, you should perform it diligently and exert a great effort to bring it to completion.
