Content / Description

Evening reflection: helps us to see unwholesome actions we do during the day; 3 things very difficult to obtain: human birth, meet the true Dhamma/teaching, meet an Arahant; 5 precepts: societies in the world don't keep the 5 precepts, a lot of sexual misconduct; Greed & hatred: we get rid of them with body contemplation; Investigation of the 5 senses: always the same ingredients, why don't we get bored? Investigation of death: seeing the elements going back to their own nature; Avijja: when we undermine its power, it sends its soldiers; the 10 fetters and the 4 stages of enlightement; the middle path is not going to the extremes but it requires utmost effort!
