Jiddu Krishnamurti

In his childhood he was identified by prominent Theosophists as the next world teacher. By which they meant the next Christ or Buddha.

They proclaimed when he came into his adulthood he would speak truths that would be hard to hear. They were right. Pretty much as soon as he grew up he repudiated the titles as well as the Theosophical Society.

Krishnamurti would spend the rest of his life as an unaffiliated spiritual teacher. And a teacher I find quite interesting…

Now I’m not an unqualified fan. As a Zen person he seems a tad too attached to emptiness for my tastes. But that doesn’t mean I’m not a fan. He offers a lot, no doubt…

Certainly worth knowing about, and reading…
