J.
KRISHNAMURTI
Death
Conversation
with Buddhist scholars and teachers at Brockwood
Park, 1979
Participants : J.
Krishnamurti, Dr. Rahula, Feros Mehta, Dr.
Parchure, Mr. Narayan and four teachers from
Brockwood Park.
J. Krishnamurti
and the participants investigate together the topic
of death. Each person goes through the same
tragedies, misfortunes - humanity is one. Then, is
there life after death? What is death? Who dies?
What happens to the flow of emotions, to the name
and form, and to the body after death? Is there
anything which has not been created by man? Is it
possible to be free from the manifested flow of
emotions, name, form and body? "To find out what
death is one has to live with it. Thought has
created religious illusions, but insight is beyond
thought. Insight is of freedom."
"When
the body dies, the desires, the anxieties, the
tragedies and the misery go on. They go on
contributing to the vast common stream in which
mankind lives.
By
enquiring into the whole nature of suffering can X
end it and be out of the stream ? The free enquiry
into suffering is insight. As long as I accept any
authority, Buddhist or otherwise, can there be
insight?
For
the man who is no longer a manifestation of the
stream, intelligence, love and compassion are
operating."

J.
KRISHNAMURTI
The
Nature of the Mind - between the 16th & 18th of
april, 1982
Four discussions
took place in Ojai, California between the
religious philosopher J. Krishnamurti, the
physicist David Bohm, the biologist Rupert
Sheldrake and the psychiatrist John Hidley. The
purpose of these discussions is to explore
essential questions about the mind: What is
psychological disorder and what is required for
fundamental psychological change? Is it possible to
understand the mind, the nature of consciousness,
its relationship with human suffering and the
potential for change?
- Each DVD
contains two parts and is in
English-
Part 1
: The Roots of Psychological
Disorder
Part 2 : Psychological Suffering
In these first
two parts consideration has been given to the
process of self-identification. A range of subjects
have been related to this process including the
problem of suffering, the role of thinking and
memory, images and the uniqueness or commonality of
consciousness. Can these processes be observed and
what is the relationship of observation to order,
responsibility and change? They discuss whether it
is possible to live in this world without conflict
and whether the need for psychological security is
the root of all one's problems? They explore what
is meant by security and try to discover why we get
hurt. They discuss how we have an image of
ourselves and take it to be 'me', take it to be
real. From that, arises the fundamental question:
whether it is possible not to have images at all?
So, what am I, what are you and what is each one of
us? They ask why do we want to 'become' and whether
it is not just an escape from what is? They
conclude by stating that as long as there is this
divisive process of life, there must be conflict.
In division there is isolation, in isolation there
is no security and therefore there is no order.

Part 3 : The
Need For Security
Part 4 : What Is A Healthy Mind?
In these last two
parts, they begin the discussion by seeing whether
there is there such a thing as absolute
psychological security and try to discover what it
is that makes people ask for security? They discuss
loneliness, the desire to be free from fear,
anxiety and agony. They ask that If one really
loves, is there a need for security? It is proposed
that maybe unconsciously we know that the self is
really totally unstable in its nature and therefore
there is this anxiety for security and as a result
we seek something absolute which gives complete
contentment? Krishnamurti remarks that when there
is perception of that which is true, that very
truth is sufficient. They then look into the nature
of thought, at the difference between attention and
inattention and inquire into analysis and
observation. They ask the questions: what does
'being' mean? Is it the opposite to 'becoming'?
Does 'being' imply 'non-movement', which is without
thought and time?
They end their dialogue exploring what is meant by
a whole, sane and healthy mind and inquire whether
it is a mind that is totally, dispassionately
unattached, without any conflict.

Education
Series
First Dialogue
with students at Rishi Valley School (India),
December 1984
Are you
sensitive? If I prejudge you, I can't see you
directly.
Do all the colours in this valley and the sunlit
rock on that hill early in the morning, all this
beauty around you, does it mean something to you?
Do you watch very carefully? If you watch very
carefully it never becomes a routine. Are you
thinking while you are watching? Do you watch with
your eyes only? Or altogether? When you watch you
begin to learn.
I am watching those trees and I am also watching
myself. If you do that you become tremendously
alive, your brain becomes extraordinary, sensitive.
Are you sensitive to people, to other people's
suffering? What is your relationship to what is
happening in the world? What is the use of
education?

Second Dialogue
with students at Rishi Valley School (India),
December 1984
Human beings have capacity, some kind of hidden
talent. Talent is to paint, to play the violin or
the flute, or to be a very good human being. So
find out your own talent, not imposed by education,
by your parents, by society, but find out something
that you have for yourself.
Discover your own talent and stick to it, whether
you become poor, rich, or successful. But your
brain is conditioned by society, so your own talent
is destroyed by this pressure.
What is the cause of corruption? If you are
interested in yourself, in what you want, in what
you must be, if you are greedy, envious, harsh,
brutal, then there is corruption.
The real cause of corruption is inside you. Unless
you find that out and change that, you will be a
corrupt human being.

J.
KRISHNAMURTI
In the Present
is the Whole of Time
First Public
Talk, Washington D.C., 20th April,
1985
The questions and
topics explored by J. Krishnamurti during this
first public talk are the following:
Why are we, after this long evolution, perpetually
in conflict? Why has humanity, each one of us,
accepted fear as a way of life?
Why do we live and act on the basis of thought?
What is the relationship between time and thought?
Can there be total mutation now in our behaviour,
way of living, thinking, and feeling? If you had no
memory at all could you think? Memory arises from
knowledge and experience. Is the experience
different from the experiencer? If there is no
experiencer, then is there any experience?

KRISHNAMURTI
At
the End of Sorrow Is Passion
Second Public
Talk, Washington D.C., 21st April,
1985
The questions and
topics explored by J. Krishnamurti during this
second public talk are the following:
What is order, what is disorder and what is their
relationship to action? Can disorder end in our
daily life?
Concerned as we are with our own suffering how can
there be love? Is sorrow brought about by
self-pity?
What happens after death? Does one carry the
memories of one's own life? If we don't cling to a
thing, then what is death? Can one live with death
all the time with all one's energy and
vitality?
If there is real order in one's life, what then is
meditation? Following a system, practising day
after day, what happens to the human brain? Is
there a meditation which is not determined? Through
one's own understanding of oneself there is that
which is eternal.
