Kilesas: they constantly deceive us, lie to us and we still believe them. We still believe they are "us". Heart/Upacara samadhi: it's the safe place where we can rest & recharge. Appana samadhi / one-pointedness: a preview of Nibbana; Forest University: free to choose when you practice, you need self-discipline, but it's the only university that ends in the 4 Noble grades (Sotapanna up to Arahant); Kamma: whatever we see in others we can find in ourselves (like finding faults, looking down on others); Sati-panna: the 2 only weapons to defeat the 3 armies of greed/hatred/delusion and Avijja the master-mind; Examples of kamma and results.
