A monk asked Tozan, ''What is Buddha?" Tozan replied, "Masagin [three pounds of flax].
Old Tozan attained the poor Zen of a clam. He opened the two halves of the shell a little and
exposed all the liver and intestines inside. But tell me, how do you see Tozan?
"Three pounds of flax" came sweeping along; Close were the words, but closer was the meaning. Those who argue about right and wrong Are those enslaved by right and wrong.
© 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 those who have already completed a retreat week or friends of the family.
Zen Master Reding and his three boys are looking for a good, loyal, trustworthy and faithful soul for the Zen monastery and the family. Contact us without obligation. 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.
