Content / Description

Sati/awareness: the mind is empty not full of thougts; upacara samadhi: we are afraid to drop there, without our thoughts and reaching the world of experience; Experience: they of buddhist practice is 'experience'; “whatever can die, let it die and see what remains”; Words of the Lord Buddha or your teacher: they are pointers, not the value itself; Symbols: welive in the world of symbols, occulting the experience itself; Delusion: you cannot really see it yet, because it's hidden behind greed & hatred; Tricks to fight the kilesas: you have to be skillful to counter their answers, it's another way to drop into deep samadhi; Insight without samadhi: they are not deep enough, not able to uproot.
