Roshi (jap. Zen Master) Father Reding welcomes you to the Honora Zen Monastery in Switzerland. Trained in Japan and Korea, he founded the Honora Zen Monastery and the Zen Order.

The symbol of peace is represented in the form of circle; he has no entrance, he is eternal. Not only do we experience life and death in the intermediate world all the time.

Roshi - Zen Master - Father Reding

If the roshi dwells in that kind of oneness with the cosmos, all is beautiful and peaceful and loving - however, there is a possibility that something else will come between him, just like the vision of the peaceful deities. One discovers that there is a possibility of losing one's footing and merging into a perfectly harmonious situation, which, of course, is the experience of splendour.

This state of absolute peace seems most terrifying, and often a roshi's courage and faith can be profoundly shaken by such a sudden glimpse into another dimension in which even the thought of union has no place. Then there is the experience of the raging deities. They are another expression of peacefulness, the ruthless, unyielding quality that allows no evasion. When the roshi approaches them and tries to rearrange the situation, they throw him back. It is exactly what happens to us all the time in life with our feelings.

Somehow the sense of unity where everything is peaceful and harmonious is not the ultimate truth yet. If there is a sudden eruption of energies in the form of passion or aggression or any other conflict, then something suddenly awakens; it is the frenzied quality of peacefulness.

When one is caught up in any self-fabricated, lulling situation, the undeniable reality of the bareness of mind and the multicolored aspect of the emotions will awaken, probably with a very harsh shock, as a sudden accident or sudden chaos.
