00:00 Being generous for the right reason; arrogance and noble thoughts
04:30 Enjoying the jhānas; developing skills
05:33 First jhāna at the gym seems less intense; bodily discomfort; oxygen in the brain
10:00 Walking meditation; breathing; in the present moment; open to sensation (from the five senses)
12:09 Sensing rather than processing is noble
14:10 Expectation is a hindrance; wanting something you don’t have
17:15 Developing generosity; gladdening the mind
20:54 Expensive retreats are selling something they don’t have; eagerness for the Dhamma
29:08 Removing unwholesome thoughts is not taught in Mahasi or Goenka
31:32 Being in first jhāna is enlightenment; sustain it minute by minute
