Who we are

Lekil Kuxlejal means harmony of life, order, union, integration of the individual, the community and nature in Tseltal. We achieve Lekil Kuxlejal if there is inner peace and our hearts are happy. Our hearts are happy if there is silence, if there is Slamalil K’inal, a state of silence of the mind and harmony with the other and other people. That is why silence, Ch’ab, is sacred. It is a state of awareness that allows “pacification”, which in turn makes people light and happy.

We feel the environment that smiles,
like the birds of the field.
That’s what we are like, like them,
flying around the world …

In this Tseltal song, the world laughs in the same way as people who have achieved Lekil Kuxlejal do, because they are so complete that they flow as water does: calmly, torrentially, powerfully, impetuously or violently as required, but in peace. Peace is the place of silence and when there is peace there is no sadness in the heart, no pain, no crying, no fear. There is only the flow of life, the pulse of life, its toing and froing in the world, flying, “like the birds of the field” … Based on these ideas, Lekil Kuxlejal A.C. is a group of people seeking to achieve a space of harmony in Casa Xitla.
