Inquiry Sunday at the Centre

Inquiry Sunday
October 1, 2017

Four of us were in attendance at the Krishnamurti Educational Centre of Canada for our monthly “Inquiry Sunday” event. The morning session included a showing of a movie produced by Paul Smit entitled “All About Nothing,” followed by a video clip of Paul himself explaining the main causes of human suffering. The film was very well made and humorous while getting across some fundamental insights about human behaviour and the “non-dual” approach to our predicament. We enjoyed a good deal of lightness and laughter while witnessing the difficulties of the various characters in the story as they experienced conflicts and frustrations as a result of their identification with the idea of being separate entities. The commentary from those characters with a clearer vision of the situation was also entertaining as well as profound.
We had some engaging conversation about the film which touched on some real-life challenges the group participants had been facing. It provided a practical relevance to the inquiry. The afternoon session was planned as a Q & A session with video clips by Krishnamurti and others, but the guests from the morning could not stay for that event.
