Zen master Joshu said, "Clay Buddhas cannot pass through water. Metal Buddhas cannot pass through a furnace. Wooden Buddhas cannot pass through fire."
Clay Buddhas cannot pass through water. The divine light illumines heaven and earth. Had Shinko not stood in the snow many deceptions, many pretenses. Metal Buddhas cannot pass through a furnace. Men came to visit Shiko and found the warning notice on the board. But everywhere the gentle breezes. Wooden Buddhas cannot pass through fire. I always remember how the monk Hasoda broke down the oven of sacrifice, whose god so long had bound himself.
© 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.
