00:00:00 Wanting happiness and choosing happiness
00:03:50 If thoughts are unwholesome change them; don’t dig a dukkha hole before you get to step 12
00:08:31 Three lifetimes: the immediate past, the immediate present moment, and the immediate future
00:12:06 Wanting magical powers; magical belief systems; fear and wanting power
00:26:03 Sukha -step 6 of ānāpānasati; the first minute of practice
00:28:42 After the joy, confidence; how to spend time now (MN 111; MN 19)
00:34:38 From first to second jhāna: how the mind is working, how good we feel; third and fourth jhāna; the end of perception and feeling
00:38:28 Hindrances: whacking the cow; using the breathing
00:43:26 Sati is training to be ready for the danger of engaging the world; friendliness; remembering safety & security
00:48:17 Changing the habits of the mind; if fruitions exist you don’t live your life in them; cessation of thought and feeling
00:55:30 From the world to a pasture; to a corral; to a stall; getting into a wholesome state is most of the work
00:57:52 Mantras are best when they mean something (MN 12); any wholesome song will do
