Happy is the Man Who is Nothing
J Krishnamurti/ 51
You must have a clear mind, a free untethered mind; this is essential, you
cannot have a clear, penetrating mind if there is fear of any sort. Fear clogs
the mind. If the mind does not face its own self-created problems, it is not a
clear, deep mind. read more

Krishnamurti’s Teachings Changed My Life
Friedrich Grohe/ 56

Friedrich Grohe left a successful family business in Germany and
moved with his family to Switzerland in the late 1970s. Coming
across a Krishnamurti book and later meeting Krishnamurti
changed his whole attitude to life. Following this he has remained
in close contact with Krishnamurti's teachings as well as the
schools Krishnamurti had helped establish.

I was privileged to have met Krishnamurti during the latter phase of my life;
but even if I hadn’t, my attitude toward the teachings would be the same. In
fact, it was coming upon the teachings that made the bigger impression on
me. I was fascinated from the first book I read, and am still fascinated. read

My Journey with Krishnamurti and the Teachings
Gisèle Balleys/ 62

Gisèle Balleys first saw Krishnamurti speak at Saanen in 1963.
Between 1979 and 1985 she was on the Staff of Brockwood Park
School, while also being responsible for the Saanen gatherings
held in July and August. Gisele continues to organize the well-
attended annual Krishnamurti Gatherings in Switzerland.

In Saanen, a large group of people were sitting under a tent. Suddenly, there
was a deep spontaneous silence. Krishnamurti came in. He sat on a simple
wooden chair, dressed in European clothes. He looked at the large audience
and started speaking in English.
The vocabulary was new to me—phrases like ‘wholeness of life’, ‘looking
without any image’ did not mean anything to me. I also became aware that
something completely new was arising in me. read more
