J. Krishnamurti - Brockwood Park 1978 - Discussion 1 with Buddhist Scholars - We are all caught in the idea of progress

Summary:

Q: Does knowledge condition human beings?

Knowledge means accumulation of information, experience, various facts, theories and principles, the past and the present. All that bundle we call knowledge. Can a mind that is burdened with knowledge see truth?

Will we get more knowledge by reading this or that, what the Buddha said, what Christ said? We are full of this accumulative instinct that we think will help us to jump into heaven.

Can I look at the fact without the word, with all its intimations, all its content, its tradition? Can I look at something without the word, without the association of words, without past remembrances?

Then only I see the fact.

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 [email protected]
