An Introduction to the Teachings

104 Pages, Size – Demmy

The best introduction to Krishnamurti is Krishnamurti himself—his books, video and audio recordings—and not interpreters and commentators.  And this book is meant primarily for those unacquainted with his vision of life which, he maintained, was not his teaching but the teaching of life itself. For him, it was always the teachings and never my teachings.

The problems of daily living that confront every human being and Krishnamurti’s original approach to them, as well as his timeless vision of the sacred, form the basis of the selections, which comprise a variety of genres that he employed to communicate his message—public talks, answers to questions, writings, interviews, diaries, dictations, letters, dialogues, and discussions—and which range over nearly five decades, from 1948 to 1983.
