Language of the heart: how to listen with the heart; Action vs. reaction: practice is to learn how to act, to be in control, not just to react like a robot; Specificity of Wat Pa Baan Taad: no group chantings or group sittings, it's the freedom of the University compared to primary/high school; Cycle of birth&death: the citta is addicted to life and plays one life after the other. Luangta calls it the 'everlasting tourist'; The path of practice: we want something (the jahnas/stream-entry/liberation etc.) but are we prepared to give something, to be a hard-core fighter? ; Dukkha vedana: description of the 3 stages of death that Luangta experienced while he was sitting for 12 hours; Avijja: like a tyran, as soon as we oppose/fight it, it's going to put us under a lot of dukkha and we need a lot of resistance/determination; Factors of enlightenment: you also need pity (joy), calm, patience etc. determination alone with no wisdom make people break and disheartened when they fail; Knowing of the heart:it's not a voice like the kilesas.
