00:00:00 Talking about emptiness: śūnyatā, suññatā ; looking at what’s not there (MN 121)
00:18:06 Emptiness as an object of meditation; relinquishment (step 16 of ānāpānasati)
00:27:18 Planned obsolescence; we want more but are never quite satisfied
00:30:05 No one cares about free will in Buddhism; destiny; following the program
00:38:08 Emptiness, right effort and the will to change; rules are empty; emptiness sets us free
00:48:16 Zendō crockery chipping: importance and emptiness; blindly following rules
00:55:26 Life has no meaning, just enjoy being alive
01:02:58 Cheering for hopelessness: hope is the thief of joy
01:12:04 The scholarly meditator always needs more; recognising hindrances
01:18:29 This is enough and complete; life is a smörgåsbord, so we need balance; better off with less
