A disciple asked Venerable Master Yun-Men, "When this student did not raise any thought, was there sin or not?" Zen Master Yun-Men said, "Mount Sumeru!"
When thoughts arise, sin (error) also arises. If no thought arises, there should be no sin. Why did Master Yun-Men say that sin was as big as Mount Sumeru? Why did he say: Mount Sumeru? Can any of you say a word? At this time, a layman came before Master Hye-Am, prostrated himself once and said; “As soon as a thought moves, it will be disintegrated.” Venerable Master Hye-Am said, “Very good. Very good” and immediately got off the podium.

The Honora Zen Monastery is currently only open for consultation hours by appointment only. The meditation stay is exclusively available to friends of the family.
Zen Master Reding is looking for a good, loyal, trustworthy and faithful soul for the Zen monastery and the family. Contact us anytime.
The balancing act between running a monastery and family life is not always easy to master. The Honora Zen Monastery is therefore looking for an additional home so that both can be carried out more easily. Such as a castle, a hotel, a monastery, a farm, a seminar house or similar properties for the monastery.
