Casa Garuda

Casa Garuda Il casale risale alla fine del 1700 ed è stato recentemente ristrutturato. It is part of the 600 hectare estate, the Tenuta Le Coste nature reserve.

Casa garuda si trova nel centro Italia, proprio sul confine tra toscana ed Umbria, all'interno della Antica Tenuta Le Coste, 600 ettari di verde, boschi, campi coltivati, uliveti. La posizione unica del casale offre un panorama che ricorda antichi dipinti del Perugino natio della vicina Città della Pieve. Casa Garuda is located in the heart of Italy, half way between Rome and Florence, on the Umbria/Tuscany border. Dating to the early 1800's, this traditional Umbria farmhouse was part of the estate's sharecropping enterprise, and was originally restored in the 1990's and then again in 2003. The panorama afforded by its hilltop location reveals the ancient Etruscan village of Chiusi, the famous hotsprings village of Chianciano terme, Montepulciano surrounded by its vineyards, Cortona far to the north, and then in Umbria, the lake-side village of Castiglione del Lago, and Città della Pieve, a vibrant walled city and home to Perugino, teacher of Rafael. The estate itself consists of rolling fields of grain or sunflowers, forests and innumerable olive groves. There is a thriving year-round community here and plenty of wildlife: pheasants, wild boar, deer, and more ...

“No matter how much you look, there is nothing that you can point your finger at and say, "Here is the thought!" And the reason you cannot do it is because the nature of thought is empty. There is nothing but emptiness. When a rainbow appears vividly in the sky, you can see its beautiful colors, yet you could not wear it as clothing, or put it on as an ornament. It arises through the conjunction of various factors, but there is nothing about it that can be grasped. Likewise, thoughts that arise in the mind have no tangible existence or intrinsic solidity. There is no logical reason why thoughts, which have no substance, should have so much power over you, nor is there any reason why you should become their slave.”

“You, the practitioner, should first of all be like a bee going from flower to flower collecting nectar. At the stage when you are listening to and studying the teachings, learn all of them carefully, in both words and meaning. Then, you should be like a wild animal. Not satisfied with a mere theoretical understanding, go to live in mountain solitudes where you can be free from all the busy involvement of ordinary life. Be self sufficient and firm in one-pointed practice, as you discover directly for yourself the profound meaning of the teachings. Finally, as you put the teachings into practice and integrate them with your being, you should be like a peg driven into hard ground. Unshaken by thoughts during meditation, remain unwavering. Cut away all limiting concepts of existence and non-existence from within, and directly encounter the face of the ultimate nature of everything.
So here we have come to the very heart of the paramitas. Wisdom is not only the most important of the six - it is their very life-force. To realize wisdom is the ultimate goal; it is the reason why all the branches of the teachings are explained.”

“When a thought arises, we must simply note that it has occurred, while at the same time remembering that it has come from nowhere, dwells nowhere, and goes nowhere, leaving no trace of its passage, just as a bird, in its course across the sky, leaves no mark of its flight. In this way, when thoughts arise, we can liberate them into the absolute expanse. When thoughts do not arise, we should rest in the open simplicity of the natural state.”

“Although all sort of images appear in a mirror, they do not exist in any solid way. But we have to understand that the same is also true for all the infinite manifestations of samsara and nirvana. The emptiness and the manifestation are indivisible: the emptiness cannot be separated from the manifestation. When we speak of emptiness and appearance, this does not mean that there are two things in the same way that we talk about the two horns of an animal. It means that there is no emptiness besides the manifestation and there is no manifestation besides the emptiness. Once we are free from clinging to this sort of duality, our concepts of existence and nonexistence will naturally fall apart. It is important to have a clear understanding – free of doubts – of this unimpeded manifestation.”
