Generosity: why can't we give and share? Gratitude: realizing how much we are dependent on other people (food, cloth, health etc.); Generosity/respect/gratitude: basic pre-requisites of the practice; How to give from the heart; Getting inspired by the Thai people; Kamma; Doubt: right and wrong kind of doubt; Kilesas: turning off the voice inside your head, what a relief! Food: we only eat for the taste/tongue and not for the body/stomach; Life as a human being is precious, but most of us just kill the time until death; Desire: you need desire to practice, to go on the path, desire gives energy.
