Practising in quiet places, anapanasati & 'Buddho' to get to the heart, disturbances from inside & outside, upacara samadhi – thoughts stop, like a safe house. The mind likes to wander, the kilesas – our oppressors, avijja – the dictator, the weapon of Dhamma, the power of the kilesas, greed hate & delusion, the purpose of practise – the supreme happieness, the body – a chemical factory, loathsomeness of the body, dressing-up to attract others, dukkha – the 1st Noble Truth, Desire – the 2nd Noble Truth, there is an end of dukkha – 3rd, the path to the end of dukkha – 4th. The 5 precepts, homosexuality, prostitution, protection from falling to the lower realms, hell. Samadhi – always returning to the 'Buddho'. One-pointedness – the universe dissapears. Wisdom – investigating the 5 khnadas, stages of enlightenment. Practise is not to supress things, the root of sexual desire.
