The Krishnamurti Reader

By J. Krishnamurti and Mary Lutyens

Book Overview

J. Krishnamurti was renowned for the penetrating insight and immediacy of his spiritual teachings. Radical in his day for seeking truth beyond the boundaries of religion, ideology, or tradition, he declared that "Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever." He traveled and lectured throughout the world, calling for a new approach to life and spirituality.

In this compilation of Krishnamurti's most essential teachings, he explores what he calls "the art of living." The topics addressed include such perennial human concerns as: living life without conflict and confusion, how to act with skill and clarity, the significance of meditation, death and dying, true freedom, and bringing the sacred into everyday life. These timeless teachings guide us to live our lives simply, intelligently, and with great love--free from the bonds of sorrow and fear.

Best krishnamurti book for its simplicity

This is my favourite Krishnamurti book for its simplicity, im sadened its no longer available, which is why i bought another one. Its my plan if i one day have kids, to give them this book to read. Recommended as the 1st K book you read.

making sense

Twas never the intent to buy this book, I don't know what drove me to. His approach to investigate the simplest, the most fundamental question of existence, is neither orthodox nor abstract. In short, it made sense. And perhaps this is what the book is after all, making sense.

Mind-Blowing

The first time i came upon this book was when i was literally in dumps.I had no idea where i was heading in life and this book gave me something that that no other could ever give,direction.I highly recommend it to anyone who is anyone.
