Nature

 


The idea that we are independent of nature is a tremendous conceit, and true because we are, relatively speaking, divorced from nature by that very attitude. The constructs of human beings are really no more unnatural than bees' nests, and birds' nests, and constructs of animal and insect beings. They're extensions of ourselves.

J. Krishnamurti - The challenge of change

Summary:

This film, of one hour twenty minutes, documents Krishnamurti's life from the early theosophical days to his mid-80's when he was still travelling, giving talks and holding dialogues.

Prior to the advent of video, rare film and photographs are used with an actor reading Krishnamurti's words.

This film is more than just a biography, it conveys the depth of his teachings, and comes back again and again to the question: Why don't I change?

---

This channel is managed by the Krishnamurti Foundation Trust​​, UK​, and by the Krishnamurti Foundation of America.

The role of the foundations was described by Krishnamurti when he said,​ ​'The foundations will see to it that these teachings are kept whole, are not distorted, are not made corrupt. They will not give rise to any sectarian spirit in their activities... nor create any kind of place of worship around the teachings or the person.​'​

We maintain extensive archives of Krishnamurti's original works and all four Krishnamurti foundations are actively engaged in the publication of material in various forms.

Our videos contain thousands of subtitles in more than 25 languages, translated by volunteers from all over the world. If you would like to help us with translating subtitles, please contact us at digital@kfoundation.org

Beauty - John O'Donohue l



“Beauty isn’t all about just nice loveliness, like. Beauty is about more rounded, substantial becoming. So I think beauty, in that sense, is about an emerging fullness, a greater sense of grace & elegance, a deeper sense of depth,” 

“And also a kind of homecoming for the enriched memory of your unfolding life.” 

— John O’Donohue
