Krishnamurti gave these talks to large audiences at Brockwood Park in Hampshire in the first year of the school’s existence. He examines love and inquires into this extraordinary element of life, stating that the most fundamental questions in life are, "what is living; what is love; what is death?" He says these questions "are not to be answered by someone else telling you what they are, for in that there is no freedom." This new edition includes a discussion with visitors and Mary Zimbalist and Mary Cadogan, two of the trustees of Krishnamurti Foundation Trust. Their discussion describes Krishnamurti’s approach to starting the school and his deep, continuing involvement in it.

Jiddu Krishnamurti lived from 1895 to 1986, and is regarded as one of the greatest philosophical and spiritual figures of the twentieth century. Krishnamurti claimed no allegiance to any caste, nationality or religion and was bound by no tradition. His purpose was to set humankind unconditionally free from the destructive limitations of conditioned mind. For nearly sixty years he traveled the world and spoke spontaneously to large audiences until the end of his life in 1986 at the age of ninety. He had no permanent home, but when not traveling, he often stayed in Ojai, California, Brockwood Park, England, and in Chennai, India. In his talks, he pointed out to people the need to transform themselves through self knowledge, by being aware of the subtleties of their thoughts and feelings in daily life, and how this movement can be observed through the mirror of relationship.
