Knowingness of the breath: it becomes very subtle, we can't feel it but we still know it, go deeper until it disappears; Arising and ceasing of phenomena: there is a world beyond and that's where we want to go; In appana samadhi, only knowingness remains, it's a preview of Nibbana; Purpose of samadhi: to investigate, we need energy and objectiveness, that's the purpose of samadhi; Sati is the key to our practice; Body contemplation: body is the first object we investigate; Seeing the 4 elements, seeing the body parts; Samadhi and panna: samadhi is used to rest the mind and give energy that we use for our investigation; Investigation is not about imagination; Greed and hatred are rooted in this body, we can't avoid to investigate it; End of body contemplation: we learn how to replace beauty with repulsiveness and vice-versa, we become master of those objects, able to create and destroy them.
