Jesus said, “When you see him who was not born of woman, fall on your face to the ground and worship him, for he is your Father.”
The meaning of the word is obvious. Whoever awakens to the inner man, who is not born of a woman like the outer man, to the divine self without birth or death, Christ in him, has, as it says in the Gospel of John, seen Christ and at the same time seen the Father. And in the same moment, illuminated and transformed by the inner light, he is certain: "I and the Father are one!" The word follows on from the instruction begun in the previous saying and finds its counterpart in the quoted word. Perfect insight is the view of the One. The highest self-knowledge is at the same time knowledge of God.

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.
