Founded by Krishnamurti in 1968 as a charitable trust, the Foundation is responsible for preserving and making available his authentic teachings.

Established in 1968 as an educational charitable trust, the Foundation exists to preserve and make available Krishnamurti's teachings, as well as to support Brockwood Park School, Inwoods Small School and the Krishnamurti Centre. The role of the Foundations was described by Krishnamurti himself 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." The Foundation is not a religious organisation nor does it have any spiritual authority but it provides a service to those who may be interested in pursuing an understanding of the teachings in their own lives. The Foundation maintains an extensive archive of Krishnamurti's original works in the form of hand-written material, books, transcripts and audio and video recordings of thousands of talks and discussions, meetings and conversations. There is also a collection of Krishnamurti's letters, photographs and reference material about him, his life, and his works. All this requires special techniques of preservation and the care of a trained archivist. The Foundation is also actively engaged in the publication of this material in various forms. More than 60 books are in print, hundreds of video and audios recordings are already available and more are in preparation. A CD-ROM has been produced containing the text of all of the published work from 1933 to 1986. An increasing amount of this material is being translated. Over 30 languages are available including all major European and most Indian languages as well as Japanese, Cantonese, Mandarin, Russian, Korean and Hebrew. The Foundation provides this material either for free or through paid downloads on the following website: www.jkrishnamurti.org

The members of the Foundation work in close co-operation with Information Centres in Britain, Krishnamurti groups in many countries and Krishnamurti Foundations in other parts of the world. For more information please contact:

Can you live without self-interest? | Krishnamurti

From the third public talk in Madras, 1985

02/11/2026

It is right to have very strong feelings – strong, directed emotions, unwarped and purposeful. —Krishnamurti

Context: It is right to have very strong feelings – strong, directed emotions, unwarped and purposeful. Mere intellectual froth is of no significance in moments of great importance; and there is a danger of translating the great events intellectually and superficially, and thereby passing them by. Whereas, if we are able to follow very closely and very clearly the psychological causes of disturbance and maintain an emotional attention without the interference of the intellect, then perhaps we shall be able to perceive the significance of the issues.

Founded by Krishnamurti in 1969, Brockwood Park School is an international boarding school for 14-19 year-olds. Located in Hampshire, UK, it provides a holistic education for around 60 students and is the only school of its kind in Europe. Learn more at brockwood.org.uk

The cultivation of respect for others is an essential part of education. —Krishnamurti

Context: If the teacher demands respect from his pupils and has very little for them, it will obviously cause indifference and disrespect on their part. Without respect for human life, knowledge only leads to destruction and misery. The cultivation of respect for others is an essential part of right education, but if the educator himself has not this quality, he cannot help his students to an integrated life.

From Education and the Significance of Life

Property and belief are the two chief causes of conflict. —Krishnamurti

Context: Property and belief are the two chief causes of conflict. Property as a means of personal aggrandisement, property as a means of permanent self-continuity, gives you position, power, prestige. Without property, you are nothing; therefore, property becomes extraordinarily important, for which you are prepared to kill, maim, destroy people. Similarly with organised religions and political ideologies, implying belief. Belief becomes very important, because without belief, where are you? Without calling yourself by a communalistic, isolating name, where are you? You are lost.

Are you frightened to look at the world? | Krishnamurti

From the first public talk in Madras, 1985

31/10/2026

By our own thoughts and actions we are bound, but we are not aware that we are bound. —Krishnamurti

Context: Society is the outcome of man’s relationship with man. This relationship is one of use, of need, of comfort, of gratification, and it creates influences and values that bind us. The binding is our conditioning. By our own thoughts and actions we are bound, but we are not aware that we are bound; we are only aware of the conflict of pleasure and pain. We never seem to go beyond this; and if we do, it is only into further conflict. We are not aware of our conditioning, and until we are, we can only produce further conflict and confusion.

The authenticity and accuracy of the teachings were of utmost importance to Krishnamurti. In the 1920s, he began to correct, revise and edit the typed versions of his reports because he did not want to depend on the ‘accuracy or inaccuracy of the stenographers’. The Foundations uphold a long tradition, started by Krishnamurti himself, of careful editing and producing accurate material. Here you can read our Statement of Authenticity.

You learn when there is attention and silence. That is, when you have silence and give complete attention, in that state you begin to learn. Now, sit very quietly, not because I am asking you to sit quietly, but because that is the only way to learn. Sit very quietly, take a comfortable position, sit very quietly and be still, not only physically, not only in your body, but also in your mind, be very still and in that stillness, attend. Attend to sounds outside the building – the cockerel, the birds, somebody coughing, somebody moving there. Listen first to the things outside of you. Then listen to what is going on in your mind, and you will then see, if you listen very, very, very attentively, in that silence, that the outside sound and inside sound are the same. —Krishnamurti

From Talk to Students 5, Rishi Valley, 1 February 1966

Follow the wandering, the distraction, find out why the mind has wandered; pursue it, go into it fully. When the distraction is completely understood, then that particular distraction is gone. When another comes, pursue it also.
—Krishnamurti, From Rajahmundry 1949, Talk 1

Watch the process of your own thinking. How cunning and deceptive it is! —Krishnamurti

Context: Watch the process of your own thinking. How cunning and deceptive it is! It promises release, but only produces another crisis, another antagonism. Just be passively watchful of this and let the truth of it be.
