Krishnamurti Foundation Trust

Krishnamurti Foundation Trust 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, a

re 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:

Thought cannot hold this moment, for this moment is not of time. —Krishnamurti

Context: Time has bred consciousness with its content. It is the culture of time. Its content makes up consciousness; without it, consciousness, as we know it, is not. Then there is nothing. We move the little pieces in consciousness from one area to another, according to the pressure of reason and circumstance, but in the same field of pain, sorrow and knowledge. This movement is time, the thought and the measure. It is a senseless game that most play, the worthy and the foolish; it is a game of hide and seek with yourself, the shadow and substance of thought, the past and the future of thought. Thought cannot hold this moment, for this moment is not of time. This moment is the ending of time; time has stopped at that moment; there is no movement at that moment, and so it is not related to another moment. It has no cause and so no beginning and no end. Consciousness cannot contain it. In that moment of nothingness, everything is. Meditation is the emptying of consciousness of its content.

There is no such thing as distraction | Krishnamurti

I have never looked at my conditioning; I have accepted it, I have lived with it. I have been a Hindu for eighty years or ten years and I have lived with it. You come along and point out to me that I am conditioned and I begin to realise the implications of that conditioning, what it does, how it destroys, how it separates. In observing, the mind has become sensitive, which means intelligent. Observing, not from books, not from Freud or this or that, but by merely observing itself in relation with the world, it has become extraordinarily sensitive. So the mind becomes intelligent and extraordinarily sensitive. That sensitivity and intelligence is not personal. Intelligence is never personal – it is not my intelligence. The moment it is personal, limited, it ceases to be intelligence. Therefore the mind, through observing all its conditioning has learnt the implications of that conditioning, has remained with ‘what is’, not tried to run away from it or suppress it but remained with it, and wants to find out what takes place next. It can only find out if the mind is extraordinarily alert and sensitive. Otherwise, it comes to another conclusion. —Krishnamurti

From Public Discussion 1, Sydney, 17 November 1970

Founded by J. Krishnamurti in 1969, is an international boarding school for 14 to 19 year-olds. Located in the beautiful countryside of the South Downs National Park in Hampshire, UK, it provides a holistic education for around 60 students. It is inspired by Krishnamurti’s teachings and is the only school of its kind in Europe.

Life is unlimited and immeasurable, and Brockwood’s approach to teaching reflects this. Beyond the usual acquisition of knowledge, the emphasis is on providing an atmosphere where learning takes place naturally - an atmosphere without reward and punishment, comparison, grades and awards, with small class sizes. Students are assisted in creating a programme of studies that challenges and extends them, including projects, portfolios and A-level exams.

Sitting quietly each morning is rare for teenagers. At Brockwood Park School, the effects of this togetherness are readily apparent: students become more self-reflective and better able to pay attention and listen to others. Self-knowledge is valued at Brockwood, and self-reflection is encouraged.

The school fosters an inclusive, affectionate atmosphere that feels like a home away from home. Students often describe Brockwood as a large family, where they take responsibility for the school and care for it. This nurturing environment encourages the formation of lifelong friendships and provides a wide range of physical and artistic activities, along with tasty, nutritious food.

Brockwood’s intentions ensure an integrated approach to life, which helps nurture students and gives careful attention to their mental and emotional well-being, preparing students for the pressures of today’s world.

The word ‘mountain’ is not the mountain. The description of that mountain is not the mountain. Or is the description good enough for me, and in that I get entangled? I accept the description; it pleases me. I want descriptions, and I want that which is described, and I cling to the idea. I don’t reject the verbal structure altogether. —Krishnamurti

Listen with your heart, with your mind, not with the little part of the intellect. —Krishnamurti

Context: Don’t be caught by words. Listen to what is being said. Listen with your heart, with your mind, not with the little part of the intellect. Listen to what you have said. You have hindered yourself. You have made the mind a slave to the words. The sun was now getting stronger, and the shadows were deepening. The vendor on the road was shouting, calling loud his wares, and a bus went rattling by. The birds were not so noisy; they had withdrawn into the shadows. The day was settling down to the noise, the quarrels, the ambitions, greeds and envies. And the day passes by without ever looking, without ever listening.

How frightened we are of the new, of the unknown! We like to remain enclosed in our daily habits, routines, quarrels and anxieties. We like to think in the same old way, take the same road, see the same faces and have the same worries. We dislike to meet strangers, and when we do, we are aloof and distraught. And how frightened we are to encounter an unfamiliar animal! We move within the walls of our own thought, and when we do venture out, it is still within the extension of those walls. We have never an ending, but always nourish the continuous. We carry from day to day the burden of yesterday; our life is one long, continuous movement, and our minds are dull and insensitive.

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.
