Zen master Ummon said to the assembled monks, "Between heaven and earth, within the universe, there is one treasure. It is hidden in the mountain form. You take the lantern, entering the Buddha hall, and take the temple gate, placing it above the lantern!"
With untaught wisdom he engages in the subtle action of inaction. With unsolicited compassion, he becomes your true friend. With a single word, he kills you and saves you. In one move he lets you go and holds you fast. Tell me, who is it that comes in that way?
Look! On the ancient bank, Who is that Holding the fishing rod? Quietly moving clouds, Boundless waters, The bright moon, the white flowers of the reeds, You see by yourself!
© 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 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.
