Counseling – Life Coach – Consultation Hour – Confession – Now, you are where the treasure is!
Grüezi and welcome to the counseling or confession at the Honora Zen Monastery with Zen Monk Father Reding. From heart to heart, re-examine life and death in a protected setting. Only when one can accept one's own shadow does harmony arise and the true self can be realized.

How can a frog in a well acknowledge the width of blue ocean? How can a baby fox understand the lion's roar? If we take refuge in the truth, we will be able to mobilize a sincere faith, and by this, if we will actualize it, we just restored this good ulterior motives and planted right consequences to produce great wisdom. I want the mind-cultivator, as truth seekers, not to be afraid of anything.
Rather be brave, yourselves; you may not realize good consequences awaiting you from your past. Without believing the highest Truth, in principle, if one pretends to be stupid, insists it is hard and using this excuse, does not cultivate the truth in this life the good roots are now cut off and cultivating the truth becomes more difficult and finally further away.
Now, you are where the treasure is. Do not pass by with an empty hand. Do not do it! Since you already know where the treasure is, why do you not investigate it? Why do you denigrate yourself by saying that you are lonely and poor? If you want to keep the treasure, drop this leather bag! (Zen Patriarch Pojo)
Understanding our role in the world means to recognize the attainment of sagehood as our goal and set out to accomplish it. Since there is no higher goal than enlightenment, only then will we know true contentment. Gain, loss; fame, disrepute; praise, criticism; pleasure and displeasure - these are the eight winds that give rise to the unsettling waves of discontent in this world.
