Krishnamurti Study Session
Sunday, March 29, 2020
At KECC

Although all events at the Krishnamurti Educational Centre of Canada have been cancelled until further notice due to the corona virus pandemic, there has been some thought about offering events online via Zoom. With the intention of learning how to use the Zoom application, five of the regular attendees of the K Study sessions decided to hold a trial meeting. If we could get logged in to the online site successfully then we might conduct a meeting as much as possible as if we were gathered physically at the Centre. This was in fact what happened. We were all able to get logged in to the meeting and then to read and discuss the February 10 entry in The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti, entitled “Agitated by Belief”. In this selection, K talks about the falseness of religion based on belief and the necessity for us to understand our relationship with our neighbour, our society, and our wife and children. This is not to be done through withdrawal but requires “the understanding of love”.
We discussed ways in which we might tend to withdraw and what we felt was meant by the understanding of love. It became a rich and interesting dialogue, with everyone actively participating and contributing questions, perspectives, and insights. We all felt that it was a worthwhile introduction to a new way of meeting and sharing and made some plans to schedule another meeting for the first Sunday of April, which would be the normal meeting time for the group.
