What’s Your Aspiration? is about the Dharma path identified by Shinran (1173-1263), a teacher of Japan’s Kamakura period. He would have us ask: “Can I know whether my spiritual aspiration is true-and-real? Have I realized the right starting point?” If I have not, then the subsequent steps will all be misdirected. If, however, the aspiration is true-and-real, then, according to Shinran, everything else follows necessarily. Such an aspiration contains all that is needed as far as practice and attainment.

This presents an urgent need and opportunity to create fundamental, long-term changes promising a sustainable future. Like it or not, this situation puts each of us living on Earth in a very special place in the history of humanity and our planet.

At the core of this ancient strategy manual is the understanding that conflict is an inescapable part of human life. Since, as Sun Tzu teaches, aggression and response in kind can lead only to destruction, we must learn to work with conflict in a more profound and effective way.

War is the most ancient and primitive way of dealing with conflict. According to yoga, stopping the cycle of war requires delving into the subtle causes underlying material desires and religious differences. These are selfishness, ego, greed, ethnocentrism, and sense of inferiority. Because of these attributes, we fail to do what we know is right, and persist in doing what we know is wrong. In the scriptures, this phenomenon is called killing the conscience. Drawing on the philosophy of yoga and other spiritual systems, Why We Fight: Practices for Lasting Peace offers practical tools for self-transformation.

That way you can understand the Hindu concepts of God, prayer, meditation, animal sacrifices, and reincarnation. These are the key points that people often misinterpret because they see movies or television shows that misrepresent the real Hindu religion.

La libertad primera y última es considerado por muchos como el mejor libro de Krishnamurti. Aldous Huxley, en su esclarecedor prólogo, se pregunta: ¿qué es exactamente lo que nos propone el sabio hindú? Y la respuesta es que no se trata de un sistema de creencias, ni de un catálogo de dogmas, ni de un repertorio de ideas, ni de una clase de yoga; lo esencial es trascender los símbolos y alcanzar la libertad de cada instante. Esta libertad surge con la superación del ego, pero también de los "sistemas" de pensamiento organizado.
