The Beauty of Life is an updated and complete edition of the work previously known asKrishnamurti's Journal.
In September 1973, Krishnamurti suddenly started keeping a journal. For nearly six weeks he made daily entries in a notebook. For the first month of that period, Krishnamurti was staying at Brockwood Park in Hampshire, and for the rest of the time in Rome. He resumed the journal eighteen months later while in California.
Nearly every entry starts with a description of a natural scene which he knew intimately, yet in only three instances do these descriptions refer to the place in which he was actually staying. Thus, the first page of the first entry describes the Grove at Brockwood Park, but by the second page, he is evidently in Switzerland in imagination. It is not until he is staying in California in 1975 that he again describes his actual surroundings. For the rest, he is recalling places he has stayed, with a clarity that shows how vivid was his memory for natural scenery, arising from the acuteness of his observation. This journal also reveals to what an extent his teaching was inspired by his closeness to nature.
In December 2007, 36 pages in Krishnamurti’s handwriting were handed to the archivist in Ojai, California by Mary Zimbalist. When Krishnamurti first gave the pages to her, he said they were for theJournal. They consisted of 13 new entries, which were first published in Krishnamurti Foundation Trust Bulletins numbered 56 to 61.
This new Full-text edition includes these additional entries, forming a completeJournalfor the first time.
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.
This was the one book of purchases that my friend wanted, so I haven't read it.

As turns out, this is a publication of a different title already in the personal collection. What would be of significance is sending a printed list of all J K publications to this home address on 1208 22nd Avenue B-Silvis, Illinois 61282. Would be interested in the titles unknown personally. Remain interested in again ordering from your library. Kindly see to it. affectionately, Franklin Rasso
