Krishnamurti Study Session
Sunday, July 9, 2019
At KECC

Continuing with our study of The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti, we explored the January 19 entry entitled “Liberation from Ignorance, from Sorrow”. In this passage K focuses on the necessity of self-knowledge if we wish to be free of suffering. Noone else can give us the understanding which will end sorrow. After reading the passage and having some minutes of silence to contemplate or look over the ideas, each of the six participants was invited to share with the group any impressions, insights, or questions arising for him or her. We then inquired further into the issues that were raised. The discussion took a creative form, with a variety of fresh questions and insights being contributed to the open space of looking and listening. It felt like a free-flowing process in which all were interested and engaged. As is often the case, it was felt that we entered a state of consciousness beyond a merely intellectual analysis of the teachings, and as such it seemed worthwhile and enjoyable for the participants.
