A monk asked zen master Ummon, "What is it when no thought is stirring and nothing presents itself?" Ummon said, "No preaching on oneness."
The death-dealing blade, the life-giving sword: they were the custom in ancient days and are still today the touchstone. Tell me, at this moment, what is the death-dealing blade, what is the life-giving sword?
No oneness! Each holds one tally. He lives and dies with you, all the same. The eighty-four thousand did not respond quickly; The thirty-three entered the tiger's cave. Remarkable: see how turbulent. The moon reflected on the waves.

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.
