Who Are We

Verde Claro is a group of friends who driven by the interest of exploring the mysteries of perception, awareness and wellbeing, initially proposed themselves to promote the work of the world’s renowned anthropologist Carlos Castaneda. In the 70´s, Carlos Castaneda boosted a cultural revolution which would extend for more than 30 years, due to his embarking in the shamanistic world of ancient Mexico under the guidance of Don Juan Matus, a Yaqui indian shaman from Sonora, Mexico, and who in turn, was the heir to a body of knowledge called The Path of the Warrior.

Thanks to the direct contact with Carlos Castaneda and under his leadership, we, Verde Claro´s members became imbued with the aim at following a path with heart.

However, once he left this world, our aspiration to enhance our awareness was not diminished with the “Nagual´s departure”.

On the contrary, driven by the warrior’s spirit and with the firm resolution to continue our research on the expansion of our consciousness, we found inside the Buddhist Philosophy a body of knowledge that encloses all the wisdom and nobility that point at the continuation of our voyage, through which, we aspire to reach the boundaries of the being with a double goal in our hearts: discovering the true nature of our mind as the source of a lasting happiness for our own benefit as well as for the benefit of all sentient beings. This is how the Buddhism-Beliefs project became alive.
 
Along this path with heart, we have learned that it is of the utmost importance to free ourselves of the pains produced by the ego clinging view which does not allow us to apprehend in its full scope the following premise: nothing exists by itself but as the result of an interdependence of phenomena.

In this sense, we aspire to support not only Carlos Castaneda’s work but the Philosophy and practices of diverse Buddhist schools as well as any other proposals that aim to reach a wellbeing, in order to find by our own and collectively, a diversity of answers about the mind’s intricacies, learn what emotions are and how to deal with them, become aware about the causes of suffering and the causes of ceasing the suffering as well as learning about the causes of happiness and how to work to reach it.

Buddhism-Beliefs will strive to introduce those proposals whose roots can be found in that which the great masters of the mind have repeated over hundreds of years: claim our primordial state to achieve our highest potential. Thus, the idea is to invite all those interested in crossing the diverse paths towards the holistic wellbeing to travel deep inside the depths of the heart, mind, and body to discover your innermost essence and fully realize it.
