Content / Description

Respect: parents and then teachers deserve our utmost respect; Respect, gratitude & generosity: 3 vertues mandatory when we start the practice; Exposition of the 4 Noble Truths; Sila & the 5 precepts; Samadhi: Buddho or the breath as the point of reference. It requires a lot of training like learning to walk or to talk, cannot acquire it from books; Kilesas: leave out that voice in your head, it's like a commentator: “you have to like this or that, do this or that etc.”; Body contemplation: whatever you put in is nice (food, cloth etc.), whatever comes out is dirty and filthy like a chemical factory.
