Open question: is there any difference between the philosophy of U.G. Krishnamurti, and nihilism?
I'm not that familiar with nihilism, but this seems awful close from what I understand.
Yes, UG talks about how if a person is living life then they have a purpose, those who are sitting around questioning it are dead in his eyes. He sort of sounds like Nietzsche at times, which is why you might interpret him as not having values but like Nietzsche his values are totally in a person who just does what they do because that is there life and it requires no deeper meaning...at least thats what I got out of it..
Bingo! The "meaning" of life revealed.

life is. you are. carry on, nothing to see here...

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us all. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
