MedicineStone – Gourmet Zen Cuisine – Zen Meditation & Hiking & Culinary Zen Art – Zen Monastery Kitchen
MedicineStone - Zen Culinary Art & Meditation
Welcome to the MedicineStone! The zen culinary art and meditation stay originated from the Honora zen monastery cuisine. A overnight meditation stay, hiking and gourmet dining. MedicineStone (Japanese Yaku-seki 薬石 medicine stone) is a synonym for dinner. To satisfy their hunger, the monks placed warm stones on their stomachs to feel warm.
Zen Cuisine & Gourmet - Father Bless this Dish
After the mind has been cleansed during meditation and the body during the hike, chef Roger Ebnöther prepares a 5 - 6 course menu for the guests. Next to the abbot, the cook is the most important person in the monastery; He is responsible for the physical well-being and health of the Zen students and guests. The temple cook prepares all the food with all his heart and makes sure nothing goes to waste. He is extremely valued and held in high esteem.
Chef Roger Ebnöther - Humility & Sacrifice
Roger Ebnöther is the main chef at the MedicineStone Gourmet Meditation Stay. As soon as one has the courage to complete the soul (voluntary sacrifice), life and death will take on a meditative and religious character. The center of one's own life becomes more and more conscious and attentive. However, in the search for completeness we often get off track and pursue the goal of perfection. Perfection is the tyranny of the mind that should be avoided at all costs. In this regard, chaos helps the mind to constantly practice humility.

Food - Gift from the Universe
This food is a gift from the entire universe, heaven, earth and many hours of hard work. May we live in such a way that we are worthy to receive this. So that we may overcome our unhealthy mental states. Particularly desire and aversion. We eat this food that nourishes us and protects us from disease. We accept this food to walk the path of understanding and wisdom.
MedicineStone Menu - Gratitude
Chef Roger Ebnöther cooks a multi-course menu. We eat what is served (vegetables, meat, fish, etc.) and are grateful! Because the act of giving (almsgiving) is the basis for our practice in the monastery. You should guard everyday things like the apple of your eye.

Firstly, my house stands on the firm foundation of trust. Second, its high walls are endurance. Third, its thick walls are concentration. Fourth, his excellent pinnacle is wisdom. A house for eternity. Because you are free from fear and imagination, and have overcome doubt, hope and fear, you are a lion-like master. Because you are fearless, intrepid, and free from hesitation and are not afraid of fighting obstacles, you are like a lion.

Mastery - Breakthrough from Ego to Self
In a godless and fatherless time, we are often aimless and divided. It is even more important to have a goal. Once mastery of your destiny within birth and death is achieved, we will finally be satisfied. We will understand our role in the world and no longer be subject to the troubling influence of the eight winds. When we have achieved mastery our minds are at peace everywhere.
