J. Krishnamurti - San Diego 1974 - Conversation 17 - Meditation, a quality of attention that pervades all of one's life
Summary:
Q: What is meditation?
Do we accept the orthodox, traditional, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, Sufi meditation, or could we put away all that and ask: what is meditation?
To start from not knowing what meditation is, then I'm free to flow in the inquiry.
Is meditation divorced from daily living or does meditation cover the whole field of existence?
In my inquiry am I awake or is the past so alive that it is dictating my life in the present?
Is there a way of living without control? Can I live a life of meditation in which there is no control?

This channel is managed by the Krishnamurti Foundation Trust, UK, and by the Krishnamurti Foundation of America.
The role of the foundations was described by Krishnamurti when he said, 'The foundations will see to it that these teachings are kept whole, are not distorted, are not made corrupt. They will not give rise to any sectarian spirit in their activities... nor create any kind of place of worship around the teachings or the person.'
We maintain extensive archives of Krishnamurti's original works and all four Krishnamurti foundations are actively engaged in the publication of material in various forms.
Our videos contain thousands of subtitles in more than 25 languages, translated by volunteers from all over the world. If you would like to help us with translating subtitles, please contact us at digital@kfoundation.org
