Anik May 14, 1999 - 10:00    Re: Krishnamurti, Buddhism Dear Mina, I'm thrilled to find you... someone interested in discussing K. I do realize talking K can be difficult or it has in the past with others I have met who have studied his work or even worked for him. It seems that each of us has had insights in different areas. It would be wonderful to share these different insights though. The people I've met in the past have mostly been just living life as it comes and as they see to do it with what they have learned and were not so very interested in discussing anything about K and his work. I am actually lonely for it and realize an insight into loneliness would be a good thing. I spoke to a woman that had a chat with the Dalai Lama and he mentioned to her that this loneliness that comes with some enlightenment is usual with Westerners but rare in the East. I wished I had had more time to talk with her about this. Do you have any thoughts on this topic...lonliness? Anik

f.r.gualda May 21, 1999 - 10:00    Re: Krishnamurti, Buddhism My wife is a buddhist christian (believes in both traditions) I am an agnostic. God of course is not a "he" does not exist like we do and does not dispense any favors. It can not be "sold" with fear. Most religions end up enslaving women and taking money from all. Krishnamurti was a great thinker that deserved my respect. We have been invaded by pseudoreligious indian comercialism. First believe and then donate...and do not forget how superior we are. What do you think a kid in Calcutta with 200 I.Q.is going to do. To stay in India to starve o come to the west to B.S.and be boss without working. Guruism specially appeals to New Agers that innocently believed that the truth was a product of the East. Krishnaurti was a universal soul and a keen intelligence, deserves to be read and is very believable, he did not found any church to have power, prestige or money. No real Prophet does. But their pupils do. Love for yourself and all people, profound and total humility, rejection of all things material. Buddha said, want nothing and you will own the peace. Jesus said, leave every thing and follow me, I am love. Mahommed said, do not represent God as a thing. My philosophy and Khrisnamurti are parallel, I enjoy reading him as much as I enjoy readin myself. Life is a very private matter,let's not involve anybodys ideas in it...find our own truth. Krishnamurti would smile...he did not need gurus...neither do you. Cordially F.Raul Gualda

peter crook Jun 01, 1999 - 10:00    Re: Krishnamurti, Buddhism I am interested in doing a research paper on the similarities between Krishnamurti and Buddhism. Anyone have any contacts, views, and related resources. Peter crook

Jay Aug 13, 1999 - 10:00    Re: Krishnamurti, Buddhism Yes I am interested in K and his teachings. I also read some of UG Krishnamurti a minute ago, who sounds quite interesting, and I think it's a good idea that his work is available for free download. I think K's work should be too =) You guys have any views on UG? I myself find him a bit disturbing but I thought that about K at first as well. What kept me going with K was that he was very concerned with "love and morality"; it stopped me from thinking he was a complete nutcase!! =) To me UG seems cold and harsh and despressing. From other I've spoken to, they find K's words quite inspiring but seem to have given up on it at some point. "He gives you no direction or hope", in other words. I have no intellectual trouble with this, hence the fact that I've "followed" him for so long (a bad way of putting it, I know!!) Anyway, I must go now. bye =)

Kim Aug 13, 1999 - 10:00    Re: Krishnamurti, Buddhism Thank you for reminding us that the spiritual cannot be captured by followers who want to repeat someone else's truth. The truth of spirit (love) lives in this moment. I enjoy reading K, because sometimes I forget and get caught up in the drama of the world. I forget that I am not "Kim" and that even my thoughts are not who I am. When I remember, then I am free.

Kim Aug 13, 1999 - 10:00    Re: Krishnamurti, Buddhism Dear friend, Thank you for reaching out. There are others around the globe who also understand, but I rarely find myself in their company either. Sometimes I crave contact with others who are interested in understanding, but when I crave/desire, then I know that I am not remembering who I am. When I remain in the moment, I am filled with love and am in need of nothing. Let us help mankind by finding our way to ourselves. There lies the recognition of who/what we really are and in that the natural unfolding of what will be. That is what I see. How do you think we should help mankind? Kim

Jay Aug 15, 1999 - 10:00    Re: Krishnamurti, Buddhism The idea to "help mankind" is a good one, as I pity those who consider that the world is fine as it is and who mindlessly continue the cycle of mediocrity. At the moment I myself can't really offer anything much, other than be a bit kinder to the people I know more immedietely. I am not yet at the stage of wanting to change the world, other than at an intellectual level. The danger for us, or at least me, is that spiritually becomes an intellectual pursuit rather than something more pure -- perhaps a real desire for change, maybe. I've fallen into this trap quite a lot, I'm sorry to say. Knowing everything is pointless if your life is a mess. More and more I'm beginning to think that most of the knowledge can be gained from obversing life itself rather than reading some book. It never seems to do any harm reading Krishnamurti, though I must admit I do read him too quickly and at times impatiently (thinking to myself that there's a lot of repitition of ideas). That's why I like the audio tapes so much (or listening to his dialogues/talks on Real Networks.) I'm forced to listen to every word, and my mind is clearer and more receptive. Anyway, I'm glad to know there are people very involved in this as you are. I myself have a long way to go in terms of learning to live life rather than simply think about it. Hopefully I will learn from the posts here. good luck, Jay.
