Your funeral orator in Zug and the surrounding area, Abbot Reding from the Honora Zen Monastery, will be happy to guide you through the funeral according to your wishes.

Prayer and Meditation

For seven septillion years I counted the milestones on the edge of the Milky Way. They didn't end. For myriad eons I sunk in the wonders of a single drop of dew. New ones kept opening up. My heart trembled! I stretched myself blissfully into the moss and became earth. Now blackberries are twining above me, a robin is chirping on a swaying branch of blackthorn. A fountain springs happily from my breast, flowers grow from my skull.

Do you still think, friend, of the wild boyish game that we once played on the Bergesjoch, when our joyful day of hiking faded and climbed higher and higher and higher? We jumped jubilantly over hill and dale uphill and back into the light, and again and again. The last ray of sunshine escapes us. The game we played there in the Alpine valley, friend, we're still playing it today.

Funeral Service - Zug

When the sweet light fades beside us, we climb until we reach it again. We jump vigorously over hill and dale and back into the middle of the day, and again and again, until the last ray of life escapes us. You are a shadow by day and a light by night; You live in my lament and do not die in my heart. Wherever I pitch my tent, you live close to me; You are my shadow by day and my light by night.

Wherever I ask about you, I find reports of you, you live in my lamentation and do not die in my heart. You are a shadow by day, but a light by night; You live in my lament and do not die in my heart. All the best on your final journey and rest in peace!
