The Buddhist Retreat Centre - Ixopo
We often talk about getting away from it all – but going to a resort can end up with you feeling more exhausted than before. Jailoshini went off in search of a truly tranquil alternative – and this is what she found at the Buddhist Retreat Centre.
The Buddhist Retreat Centre South Africa - Ixopo
The Buddhist Retreat Centre Ixopo is perched on a ridge at the head of a valley in the Umkomaas river system in KwaZulu-Natal, the Buddhist Retreat Centre looks out on a vista of indigenous valleys, forests and rolling hills receding like waves in the blue distance. Here, for more than twenty years people of all religions have come to experience peace and tranquillity. It is a gentle, sympathetic space where one can be still and get in touch with oneself and reflect on the things that crowd one’s life. CNN featured the BRC as one of the 10 finest Meditation centres in the world

The Labyrinth @ The Buddhist Retreat Centre in Ixopo, KZN, South Africa
For millennia the labyrinth has been used by peoples across the world much like a mandala. Labyrinths as mandalas have been used as spiritual journeys through the use of its sacred circle to the center within. This Sacred Geometry has been a part of the Aboriginal culture in Australia; the Hopi Tribe in America; in Cornwall, England the design was etched as a rock carving, and in European Cathedrals just to give a few examples. The oldest labyrinth found was in Crete.
There are different types of labyrinths, none of which are mazes even though the maze is part of the labyrinth family. There is never an obstruction from your end goal to the center in a labyrinth like you find in a maze. The Classical labyrinth is based on a pattern originally found on a clay tablet in Pylos, Greece that dates back to 1200 BCE and constructed with a seed pattern. The Medieval labyrinth has four quadrants that use the Sacred Geometry in its construction. This type is usually found on the floor of a European church.
Each type represents our path through life and is an ancient symbol showing us a certain wholeness that can be achieved. The labyrinth will take us to our own center as we circle inwards along the path to its center. There are certain energies that can be felt building up within the body as a person gets closer to that center when the labyrinth is used as a mandala. Our egos are pushed aside in order to meditate and inhale our god(s) and the power that god(s) reign upon us as we try to discover where we are in our relationship to each other, the Earth, our universe and our god(s).
