Krishnamurti: A Wholly Different Way of Living San Diego 1974, Conversations with Allan W. Anderson 10/18: The Art of Listening Q: What is seeing? What is listening? What is learning? Do we see actually or through a screen darkly, through a screen of prejudice, a screen of our experiences, wishes, pleasures, fears, between us and the object of perception? Do we ever see the thing at all? Does the act of listening bring about complete freedom from all statements? Is the mind completely attentive? Then the mind is extraordinarily free to act. Then the seeing is doing. I learn in order to gain reward or avoid punishment. I learn a particular job or craft to earn a livelihood. Is learning a process of accumulation? Is there any other kind of learning that is not accumulating, and acting from that?  Have we learned anything from sorrow? What is there to learn? - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.

For seven decades, he spoke to large audiences around the world, as well as with notable individuals and small groups.
