00:00:00 Connecting the dots; sati; waking up enough
00:06:50 Taking the right effort as soon as we wake up to unwholesome thoughts
00:08:34 Everything is completely empty and transient; letting go of delusion; constricting reality to “I”, “me” and “mine”
00:15:19 Fear from the familiarity of dissatisfaction; the prison of the person
00:18:48 Clinging to patterns and habits; look and investigate; satisfaction is the absence of the person
00:23:53 Satisfaction is effortless; relaxation is the practice
00:32:44 Do your practice when you remember; take a break; work toys
00:41:18 Become interested in the experience of relaxation; dukkha-nirodha is spontaneous
00:49:56 Dukkha-laden intentions; conscious and subconscious; experiential tension
01:10:49 We’re not creating an ontological paradigm
