"Thank you both. There are abviously different aspects to your posting and I'm not going to get into debating Krishnamurti's status, but what you are saying about observation and stepping back to get a bigger picture certainly sits well…"

I recently recalled a book that if not already read you might find interresting.
The title is, 'The Analyst and the Mystic', by Sudhir Kakar. It presents psychanalysis from an 'object relations' viewpoint as well as from a Hindu perspective that brings forth the 'guru' concept as it relates to mental growth.
However, there are many interresting points within the book that coincide with many Buddhist views as they relate to psychotherapy as well as mentioning J. Krishnamurti.
Again, I hope you are doing well and if not already read by you I hope you find the book interresting.
Wellness and peace.

- Interesting, but can one ever have satisfaction without an outer reason? I know whsat you are saying, but suspect even when we think it is just inate, satisfaction rests on many external conditions.

enlightened or bombu?

Zen is clear that we are essentially enlightened beings. Pureland insists that we are hopelessly deluded. Both seem to me to be true. On the one hand the mind with all it's contradictions,…Continue
Other-power or Zazen?

I see Amida Trust bringing the 2 together, or are they mutually exclusive? ie the here and now focus on breath of Zazen implies continuity and oneness, whereas the 'other- power' of Amida can be seen…Continue
The prison of the question of "liking or not liking"
Started by Katrien Sercu in Amida Trust & Amida-shu Development. Last reply by Robert McCarthy Apr 30. 9 Replies 0 Likes
It is surprising how a question, which was a step forwards earlier in life becomes an ennoying limitation that, in good moments, can evoke a smile in me as it is really a funny and stupid question.…Continue
