Wedding Speaker - Zen Master Reding

Marriage is based on a deep mutual respect between spouses, with both aiming for an equal partnership. The union forms a harmonious blend of different strengths and weaknesses. For the couple, marriage means creating a framework for shared development. As an ordained Zen monk, I am happy to guide you through your wedding to strengthen and celebrate the public connection between two people.

The wedding ceremony is identity-forming and community-building; it gives this life phase a spiritual, formal, and public framework so that this important event can be consciously experienced and processed.

When you live for others, you are truly close to the way.
