Zurich Funeral Speakers

Dear Collegium, please remove me from the list of “Zurich funeral speakers”.

I do not adhere to the following points of the Code of Ethics:

Point 3: I founded the Zen order in Switzerland.
Point 4: Inclusion and diversity is an ideology of equality of outcome and not equality of opportunity. This means that funeral speakers and customers are not given a free choice with whom they want to work. They are therefore unable to assume their personal responsibility and are incapacitated.
Point 5: I charge my travel expenses and costs as I want.

Since the city of Zurich has decried legal and factual equality of outcome (see the City of Zurich homepage), I can of course understand that the “Zurich funeral speakers” code of honor also had to be designed this way. I wish you all a lot of courage and a return to equality of opportunity, even if this has financial and spiritual consequences.

Best regards

Zen master Reding
