Kalachakra Meditations

by Ramesh Grover

In walking alongside and listerning to J. Krishnamurti and David Bohm, the author toches intimately the constricting and suffocating reality of conflict and confusion in one's daily life.  There is a natural human desire to end it and to move into a - 'shangrila', 'nirvana', 'kingdom of heaven', 'socialist utopia'.  In seeking 'utopia', one remains within the confines of time and tought.  The author shares not only his joy and sorrows, as he moves within the movement of time and thought, but also, his feel fo freedom in the 'ending of psychological time'.  There is thus, a perception of the truth of freedom.

The entirety of the Buddhist mindstream, including all schools of its thought, have directly or implicitly dealt with the subject of time as a causal factor in perpetuating sufferings and emphasised the need to bring about a change in the mindstream to end psychological time.

J. Krishnamurti, in all his teachings, has always talked of the urgency in attending to and coming upon an understanding of time as the core element of the factor of thought and has tried to make one come upon a perception of time on the element of ignorance. In that there is a fundamental shift from a movement within the method approach to an approach which consists of all methods to be hazardous.

The present work is based upon an actual meditative processing of the author's memory recall, and will be of use to others in keeping a watch, attending to what their mind perceives and reaching out to an understanding of the mischief of thought in perpetuating the delusion of the 'I'.

It is as if one is walking alongside the Buddha and seeing something totally different, that which otherwise may not have come within the comprehensive vision of the author without the meditative presence of the other
