A protective place. Sila: the Five Precepts are for our protection. Heaven and Hell. The Law of Kamma applied to the worldly life. What is Dukkha? An easy and simple task: Just putting the mind on one object: the tip of the nose or mental repetition of the word “buddho”. Access Samadhi or Upacara Samadhi: Feeling safe in the middle of the storm. Reaching the state of Deep Samadhi or Appana Samadhi. Duality. One-pointedness. Knowingness. The “monkey mind”: Putting back the mind on the object. Fighting the pain with investigation. Knowing the breath. Investigating pain, doubts, and laziness. Questions and answers.
