Dhammarato answers Peter's questions about how the practice of Anapanasati plays into the 8 Fold Noble Path. In breaking down the building blocks of the Path, Dhammarato pays an acute attention to the Right Effort of "bending the limb" by intentionally getting rid of the "big gray booger" aka junk thoughts. Another metaphor Dhammarato uses as a result of the practice is "sea legs" of Upekkha - the dynamic balance that allows one to handle the high seas of life.

Justin and Dhammarato discuss the differences in meditative approaches practiced by the Buddhists and the Westerners. Justin shares that by adhering to the method of Anapanasati, he can see tangible results in his everyday lifestyle and ways of thinking. Dhammarato revisits the issue of safety and security as a starting point for developing satisfaction and, later, success in life. He gives a more accurate definition of "enlightenment" as an easily available yet not permanent state of mind. He then focuses on sustaining it through an everyday practice by using Sati, or "remembering to catch yourself" and Nurturing yourself back into it by gladdening the mind with wholesome thoughts.

Dhammarato dwells upon the notion of enlightenment and its faulty western interpretation. He emphasizes the only teaching of the Buddha, and that is of Dukkha and Dukkha Nirodha. He then brings attention to the practical method of getting rid of Dukkha and gladdening the mind through doing a deep breathing and, literally, talking oneself into feeling good.

In this conversation, Dhammarato explains the concept of reality as Sunyata (Nothing much to it) by juxtaposing it to the concept of Void (Complete nothingness). He mentions the only four requisites that we need from the conceptualized/conventional/subjective world: enough food, enough shelter, enough clothes, and enough medical attention. In that arises a new consciousness, the one in pure present.

Dhammarato outlines the only teaching of the Buddha that is set in noticing the Dukkha and getting rid of it immediately, and contra distinguishes it with the western mindset of meditating on just simply noticing the Dukkha without doing anything about it. He playfully compares it with 'taking a bath versus swimming in the sewer'. He helps Gurvinder conclude that even thoughts that don't contain ill-will, greed or delusion are unwholesome.

Dhammarato shares the teaching of the Buddha, offering a little change in the conventional practice of the 8 Fold Noble Path. He suggests to start with Purification of the mind (Samadhi) while seeing the reality of the situation (Panna) without requiring seclusion (Sila) first. He also gives a useful working definition of "reaction" as an acquired habitual relationship of the human to the world akin to that of the relationship between the monkey and the coconut tree.
