Krishnamurti On Boxing

SW: Do you get some kind of a kick out of watching boxing?

K: A boxer or a wrestler, if he wants to win, must act spontaneously. He can never know in advance the direction from which he is going to be attacked in a match. He must act quickly. There is no time to think carefully and then act. So he has to put aside the machinery of his mind and act without thought.

When your behavior is governed by the dictates of thought then you are merely reacting to the challenges of life. And your life is nothing but a series of such reactions. But there is quite a different way of meeting the challenges of life. There is a great joy when you cease reacting according to thought but start responding to life without it.

Para destacar

Este es uno de los libros más importantes de J. Krishnamurti, resultado de las charlas y discusiones que mantuvo con estudiantes y profesores de Rishi Valley, distrito de Andhra Pradesh, y de Rajghat, distrito de Varanasi, en la India.

Una obra primordial, que propone una renovada y amplia visión de la educación, y que no dejará indiferente a ningún lector, sea profesor, estudiante, padre o cualquiera que se interese por el desarrollo humano.
Sinopsis

Completamente diferente a otros intentos por rescatar o sugerir alternativas en el sistema educativo, Krishnamurti resalta la enorme importancia que la educación tiene a la hora de comunicar lo que es básico para la transformación de la mente humana, así como de romper las fronteras entre culturas y tradiciones.

El reto que plantea está enfocado no sólo hacia la actual estructura de la educación, sino también hacia la verdadera esencia de toda persona. De hecho, el fin último de la educación debe ser, en opinión del autor, la creación de una nueva cultura y un nuevo ser humano, lo cual sólo es posible cuando el espíritu religioso y la actitud científica forman parte de un mismo movimiento de la conciencia del individuo.

South America on Retreat

Much of our publishing work influences and motivates Krishnamurti Enthusiasts to set up centers of study, public libraries, and dialog groups around the world. K Publications in it's mission to support such groups and activities gladly helps to sponsor these activities by donating media in an effort to allow for individualized study in the far corners of the world.

On a recent trip to Brazil, the K Publications Director had the fortune of meeting a man with a vision to build a retreat center on an island off the coast of southern Brazil---with the help of the foundation this library now has a healthy collection of Krishnamurti reading material and a wide selection of DVDs.

"I could never find a way to express all my gratitude for your kind and warm gesture, i just received the package you sent, THANK YOU SO MUCH."
~ Ben R, Brazil

This library is location in a beautiful Health Spa located just steps from the extraordinary Mole Beach on the island of Florianopolis. If you are looking for a place to get away and to study K's readings while basking in the sun then we couldn't think of a better place.

For more information check out the Inner Revolution Retreat.

Don't want to fly to South America, come to the new Krishnamurti Retreat in Ojai for all of the above without the Brazilian sun!

Peace.
