THE KRISHNAMURTI FOUNDATION

Krishnamurti is one of the best loved spiritual teachers of the twentieth century. His passionate teaching of the value, beauty and immensity of life profoundly inspired many people, and his works are currently studied in over 100 American colleges and universities in faculties of philosophy, psychology, religion and education.

In the last two decades of his life Kishnamurti engaged in many discussions with scientists, Buddhist scholars, philosophers, artists and a Jesuit priest. These conversations have been collected into this volume, offering a profound insight into his philosophy of life. They include discussions with:
• Iris Murdoch
• Renee Weber
• Walpole Rahula
• Jonas Salk
• David Bohm
• Bernard Levin
• Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche

‘… it should be made clear what we mean by discussion. To me it is a process of discovery through exposing oneself to the fact. In discussion I discover myself, the habit of my thought, the way I reason, not only intellectually but inwardly.’
‘… I feel that if we could be serious for an hour and really fathom, delve into ourselves as much as we can, we should be able to realise, not through any action of will, a certain sense of energy that is awake all the time, which is beyond though.’
KRISHNAMURI, New Delhi, 8 January 1961
