Member Statement
I'm interrested in all kinds of spontaneous and lively dialogues about essential questions of life, especially Krishnamurti's teachings.
My life has changed, since I began to be like I am.
For 13 years, I was teacher in a school for physical therapy in a big clinic. Now, I'm a pianoteacher and - player and I don't know what future brings. I'm married and I have three children in the age between 6 and 13.

Interview Answers
If you had to sum up what Krishnamurti is all about in just a few words of your own, what would they be?
transformation is the negation of change
there is no path to happyness, there is no path (to nothing)
Can dialogue - in the sense of sincere inquiry - be organized or can it only come about spontaneously, unprompted?
The relationship between people isn't a rigid, inflexible thing. You cannot organize life, learning or a lively dialogue.
View all answers to this questionHow do you strike a balance between healthy doubt and ready acceptance in investigating Krishnamurti's proposals?
There are two kinds of dissatisfaction: one on the base of opinion, violence and one without any opinion, any assessment. The first is to be thrown overboard, the second is to be kept alive.
View all answers to this questionHow important do you consider group dialogue to be in understanding the more subtle points of Krishnamurti's message?
I think that the spontaneous and lively dialogue between two persons is most efficient "method" to find out the truth.
View all answers to this questionDo you think it advisable to introduce Krishnamurti to people you know? Have you ever done it and if yes, what are your experiences?
For me,it is not the question of advisable or not advisable, I have to do it, and I do it nearly every day. My experiences? Krishnamurti is almost unkown in my surrounding and the biggest problem for people is to understand that there is nothing to change.
View all answers to this questionDoes the phrase "living the teachings" have any meaning to you?
If I really live the teachings,does the phrase "living the teachings" have still any meaning to me?
View all answers to this questionHas coming into contact with Krishnamurti and his teachings had any perceptible effect on your life and/or relationships?

View all answers to this questionDo you think Krishnamurti was exceptional, or is the transformation he spoke of universally accessible?
He was not a genius, a guru or something other, but he was exceptional in his simplicity. Isn't it the most difficult to be simple? I think that the transformation he spoke of is universally accessible, but it's a hard work.
View all answers to this questionWhat future do you foresee for Krishnamurti's works? Do you think they will grow in importance or will they just gradually die away?

Krishnamurti is life. But I'm not a clairvoyant ...

Not difficult to accept, but difficult to understand!
View all answers to this questionHow do you personally go about exploring the Krishnamurti's teachings (through personal study, dialogues, dvds)?
Personal studies: reading and dialogues
View all answers to this questionDo you ever feel that you have been conditioned by Krishnamurti's teachings?
