St Gallen – Zen Meditation – I’d like to go back to the mountains, to the sunny heights where the beautiful breezes blow!

Funeral orator Abbot Reding invites you to an open zen meditation in the cemetery Feldli in St Gallen.

Prayer

I'd like to go back to the mountains, to the sunny heights where the beautiful breezes blow, out of the room, out of the city! Ha, my chest, full of new songs, I descend into the valley, sit blissfully tired to the meal that has so much joy. Look your friend in the bold eye, laugh with the blue sky, with the clear sky, with the whole cheerful world.

Feel again what I'm good for, so for joy so for strife, before being the prey of displeasure, I know myself a hero today. Was the effort in vain for all the tough pests! I'll show them the master now, to their ridicule and annoyance! I really enjoy life, I want to glow, I want to indulge in everything that is good, free, and beautiful, a genius fills me.

Zen Meditation - St Gallen

Just look around at the area, how beautiful it is, how beautiful! O! if you can't feel that, you can always leave. he wouldn't be a man for us, and wouldn't understand us. Be happy or be sad, come here late, come early: if your eye loves beauty, pick it up and see! The privilege of delighting this height never forgives itself. Nature grants us the purest joy in this world. In the heart that pleases her, we trust without oath.

But whoever pretends to be so, makes princes Cour. Can love ever be without pain, can friendship be without pain, can wealth be without care, without fear a mother's heart? Oh! Yeast leads to the best wine, and poison to the purest ore. But if we see the sun going down here a thousand times, we say to the last ray: Farewell, goodbye! And can go to rest like them without remorse or torment.
