Jean Klein

"Beyond Knowledge" is a crystallization of timeless wisdom. To read these dialogues is to enter into a scale of inquiry and clarity that knows no compromise and carries one from the end of thought to the beginning of self-knowledge.

Beyond Knowledge

Dialogues between Jean Klein and his students and friends, during seminars in the United States and Europe. In many different settings and circumstances, Jean Klein casts and re-casts the teaching of Advaita.

Transmission of the Flame

This book is a compilation of Volumes 1 - 10 of Jean Klein´s journal Listening, published by the Jean Klein Foundation on a limited basis between 1989-1995. Each volume of The Book of Listening is arranged around a theme, for example, Love and Marriage, The Guru and Disciple, and includes a previously unpublished private discussion or a transcription of a public talk with Jean Klein. Listening also includes one question answered in depth (Your Question) and a brief description of Jean's unique approach to the role of the body in his teaching. For each volume Jean selected an extract from his own favorite literature and poetry, covering many ages and cultures, which complemented the depth and richness of his own expression. Most of Jean Klein's teaching was simply through his presence and through the question and answer dialogues where he “answered the questioner, not the question.” Jean emphasized the direct approach to liberation, an approach free from emphasis on the attainment of progressively subtle psycho-somatic states. The Book of Listening reproduces each original volume in full and, as well as offering an exposition of the direct path, captures the multi-cultural interests and tastes of this remarkable and pioneering exponent of Advaita in the West.

The Book of Listening

A 25th anniversary edition of a classic spiritual guide Celebrating 25 years as a classic among spiritual seekers, The Ease of Being is an accessible and captivating introduction to the concept of Advaita Vedanta (or non-dualism) from world renowned author, mystic, and teacher Jean Klein. This beautiful anniversary edition includes seven of Klein's famous lectures, and includes dialogues on the nature of reality and the root of our felt experience, as well as how these realizations can impact and shape our day-to-day lives. The profound dialogues in this tome are presented as interactions between Klein and an astute, unnamed interrogator, and include topics such as: What is memory? What is fear? How can I free my mind from conditioning? What is pain? According to Klein, it is only in a "spontaneous state of interior silence that we can open ourselves to our true nature: the 'I Am' of pure consciousness." Let this beautiful edition of The Ease of Being inspire your own awakening, and carry Klein's legacy forward to future generations of seekers.

The Ease of Being

In this book Jean Klein once again offers us one of the clearest and most direct expositions of Advaita in our times. “The root of all desires is the one desire: to come home, to be at peace. There may be a moment in life when our compensatory activities, the accumulation of money, learning and objects, leaves us feeling deeply apathetic. This can motivate us towards the search for our real nature beyond appearances. We may find ourselves asking, 'Why am I here? What is life? Who am I?' Sooner or later any intelligent person asks these questions. “What you are looking for is what you already are, not what you will become. What you already are is the answer and the source of the question. In this lies its power of transformation. It is a present actual fact. Looking to become something is completely conceptual, merely an idea. The seeker will discover that he is what he seeks and that what he seeks is the source of the inquiry.”
