Silence
Silence is our nature, although often, amid external and internal noise, we cannot perceive it. And at other times, even when we enter it, we look for a noise to distract us. But silence connects us with the reality we live.
It is through silence that we can cross the barrier of noise and discover ourselves authentically. In meditation, we often want everything to be pleasant and wonderful. But that is not always so. Meditation can also be uncomfortable and put us in touch with areas we find hard to see. If during the inquiry we are open to discovering our nature beyond the character, what changes is the perspective of this living experience.
The inquiry
Inquiry in meditation invites us to be more attentive to everything that arises in us and to see its nature. Meditation is a tool to stop and observe, not to enter a mental state that we later turn into a special experience. That too is observable.
When we ask «who am I?» in inquiry, it is not to discover ourselves as characters; the question is not meant to get an answer. Any answer must be seen as a mental creation. It is a path in which we take responsibility for ourselves and for what we feel. And here lies a greater freedom from the automatic reactions born of conditioning.
It is a path of change. If we want to stay where we are, this is not the path.
The workshops
These are practical gatherings to explore this view together through dialogue and silent inquiry. It is about remembering what we already are and living from that naturalness in everyday life.
