This book consists of fourteen out of the several dialogues that Krishnamurti held in the 1970s with his close associates, scholars, religious seekers, and others interested in inquiring into existential issues. These dialogues are not questions or answers or even an exchange of viewpoints.
They form a new genre of communication typical of Krishnamurti—a tentative beginning, deep listening, a refusal to arrive at quick solutions, and an exploration that leads to newer and deeper perceptions. For those who wish to delve into the processes of self-knowing, this would be an invaluable book.
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.

Foundation officers: Earlier I ordered the title "The Perfume of the Teachings". One only was ordered, but two were sent and was billed for two. Would you kindly credit my card for the sum price of the soft cover book. with appreciation, Franklin
