Zen master Goso said, "A buffalo passes by the window. His head, horns, and four legs all go past. But why can't the tail pass too?"
If you make a complete about-face, open your eye, and give a turning word on this point, you will be able to repay the four kinds of love that have favored you and help the sentient beings in the three realms who follow you. If you are still unable to do this, return to this tail and reflect upon it, and then for the first time you will realize something.
Passing by, it falls into a ditch; Coming back, all the worse, it is lost. This tiny little tail, What a strange thing it is!
© 2024 Honora Zen Monastery
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.
