Law of Kamma: whatever happens to us is the result of our own doing, but we don't like to hear that; Unwholesome kamma: we need awareness before we think, say or do something and check if it's in the 5 precepts. Sometimes, we think we do good but we can create a lot of unwholesome kamma; Example of sati and difference with mindfulness; Entering samadhi: happiness, stillness, peacefulness, no loneliness, no fear, why do we prevent ourselves from going there?; Appana samadhi: how to go there with Buddho or the breath, “it's a preview of Nibbana”; Guided meditation on pain investigation: accepting it, investigating it, questioning it, going through the pain of death (3 different stages: suffocating, burning, being torn apart).
