ALUENDA (ZARAGOZA)

- VYCHARA MEDITATION: Search For Being-

"Search until there remains no one to do the searching"

   EASTER RETREAT 2007
   From the 5th. to the 8th. of April in Aluenda (Zaragoza)

   When born, you are like a blank piece of paper, totally empty, you are being. But just at this moment everyone puts names and labels on you.Society conditions you and creates a personality that envelops your essence. Slowly you accept what other people say you are, forgetting thus your true face.

   The true nature of the human being is Conscience and this state does not depend on what one does, on ones conduct; it does not require practice. Then what is the meaning of the search? What do we lack? The only thing lacking is that you should know yourself and for this to occur you need a mirror where you can see the reflexion of your origional face and thence remember who you are.

   Vychara meditation or 'Proper Search' is the diamond. Finding out who has come and who has never gone away. The search is presence itself: Who am I? This is the only question that does not lead to suffering. The Search is love to the being. Investigate and experiment who shines through your face. Look inside yourself to the immutable.

   Vychara is a special vision: You do not see through your eyes but through Being. The search will help cut out identification with the mind, the body and emotions, making possible an opening to the way of direct experience. It is not a question of observing rather of Being.

   In this Easter Retreat the participants are left with the primordial question; the question of all questions. It consists of 3 days of intense searching with only one objective- a glimpse of no-mind or Internal Buddha- using the question or Koan who am I? In a residential process where the vigorous structure and the total focalization support the passion and intensity of the Search - Vychara thus becomes a true therapeutical hammer which makes it possible for the participant to free oneself of identification, helping one to pass through the layers of personality until the last source where the mind can dissolve itself in Being.
