FloweringThis new book captures Krishnamurti’s depth in eloquent quotes selected by Evelyne Blau and framed in stunning photographs by Michael Mendizza.

“The flowering of meditation is goodness. It is not a virtue to be gathered bit by bit, slowly in the space of time; it is not morality made respectable by society nor is it the sanction of authority. It is the beauty of meditation that gives perfume to its flowering.”

The Revolution from WithinBook comes with Washington DC Talks DVD (insert)

In this series of lectures, given in the U.S. and various cities throughout the world in the 1950s, Krishnamurti confronts the habitual, projection-making mind, which fails to see what is while it absorbs itself in belief and illusion.

Most of our existence is spent in that way—trying to live up to something, trying to bring about a change in our attitude, to change according to the pattern which we have projected as an ideal, as a belief.

Attention and OrderOjai, California 1984Eight hours in this 3-DVD set

Krishnamurti asks why, after thousands of years, human society is so chaotic, still suffering with poverty, and facing violence in relationships whether personal or social. Although our brains have been trained for generations to approach life by depending on thought to solve problems, we are still unable to do so without creating yet further problems. We have not learned how to be free from fear and do not look for the root of fear. Is there daily action that will not bring about conflict but will lead to order and understanding the sorrow of humanity and going beyond it?Subtitles: English
