JJ Krishnamurti and conversation with students in Britain
25 Feb 2000
Format:Hardcover
Krishnamurti addresses the issues and concerns of students in a private school in Britain. In response to questions and comments from these young people he operates on the level that they understand. He pushes them, and with affection. He helps them see the pitfalls of resistance and conformity and finding an intelligent way to function and act. He addresses the issue of sentimentality as a source of much of the problems in the world and the way to counter it with what he calls affection. Sentimentality is the source of all attachment, nationalism, and ultimately the misery in the world.

GREAT
3 Mar 2012
Format:Hardcover
Great book. One of Krishnamurti classics. In depth discussions of many of the core elements of his teachings. Fantastic. Highly recommended. But read it with a grain of salt -- DO NOT BELIEVE what it says. EXAMINE it for yourself and find out if the things said are true or not. If they are you've found them first hand. If not, you can discard them. It takes patience if this is your first K book, to get familiar to the terminology and the approach...

active thinker
23 Jan 2002
Format:Hardcover
I like more about he was explaining the human expression and if you want to become something in your life how would you express yourself?. And the way he answer the questions he is not just giving the answers straight away instead he make the questioners think theirself very deeply and find the answer themself.
