Funeral Service after Exit – Terminal Care – Assisted Suicide – In the splendor of salvation from all fear!
"My mother will soon be dying with the assisted suicide organization Exit and would like to discuss the funeral ceremony." I often hear this first sentence on the phone when looking for a suitable funeral speaker. As the abbot of the Honora Zen Monastery, I am at your disposal and will arrange the farewell ceremony individually and with dignity according to your wishes.
Meeting for the Funeral Ceremony - Terminal Care
During the preliminary meeting for the funeral service, of course, not only the details of the funeral or farewell ceremony are discussed. As a Zen monk, it is very important to me that the people concerned can also discuss and exchange their spiritual well-being with a clergyman in a relaxed atmosphere.
Prayer and Meditation - After Assisted Suicide
Whether strong unconscious tendencies wander between death and birth. In the splendor of salvation from all fear, may the sublime, the peaceful, and the frenzied advance before me. The raging goddesses, queens of space, in the back. Stand by me on the dangerous tightrope walk in the intermediate area. Guide me to perfect salvation. Separated from beloved friends I wander alone, and the empty forms of my own personality appear to me, may the saints send forth to me the power of their mercy.
So that the terrors of the intermediate world between life and death do not appear. Shining five bright lights of wisdom, may I know myself without fear. As the forms of the peaceful and frenzied appear, may I fearlessly and confidently discern the in-between realm. I experience suffering from the power of evil karma, may my wisdom remove all suffering. The sound of truth rumbles like a thousand claps of thunder, may it all turn to the sound of the Logos.
If I follow my consequences without refuge, may the Lord of Great Mercy be my refuge. If I suffer the consequences of unconscious inclination, may the meditation of bliss and splendor arise for me. May the five elements not arise as enemies, may I behold the realms of the enlightened.
