Weekend Meditation at the Zen Monastery

Meditation Weekend - Every Day is a good Day!

The meditation weekend at the Honora Zen Monastery begins Friday evening at 6:30 p.m. and ends on Sunday at 1 p.m. The monastic setting helps you to escape from everyday life and get a little closer to yourself again.

Only when the dragon rumbles in the dry tree will you truly see the way.

Modules - Not Selectable

Modules are not selectable: Day-long hiking (in all weather conditions), household, cooking, meditation, gardening, etc. Every Sunday we attend Mass at the local church. The daily schedule may vary.

Etiquette - Freedom is, to sacrifice yourself voluntarily!

Etiquette is a behavior and rule that provides a framework so that one's own words and actions can be consciously carried out and processed and shows that one is under control. Life in the Zen monastery is physically and mentally challenging. The monks and nuns are happy to share temple life with you. If you cannot adapt to the rules, leave the monastery immediately. We eat what is served (dairy products, grains, vegetables, meat, fish, etc.). There are no exceptions!

FAQ - The Monastic Regime!

Here you will find the frequently asked questions and answers (faq). In the monastic regime, where life is strictly organized, humor is a welcome relief and an opportunity for obtaining mutual understanding and camaraderie in the monastery.

Meditation - Weekend

Life & death is the big thing, be alert, because everything is fleeting and passes quickly, time waits for no one. A thousand paths lead to the gateless barrier; once through and you are free from life and death. MEDITATION is very difficult in a godless and fatherless time because we are aimless and divided. Meditating means that you first penetrate your own shadow and then dive into the deep, chaotic and dark source. Breathe deeply and think the unthinkable. Sit like a mountain and penetrate into the depths of the depths so that your true self awakens. Then the fire phoenix with its thousand-colored plumage can rise again from the ashes.
