00:00:00 An explanation of the second noble truth; four examples of liking; four of not liking

00:09:51 It’s over when you decide it’s over

00:13:07 Waking up and looking at what you’re doing (step 9 of ānāpānasati); greed for the object

00:15:57 Translations take out the essential repetition; loss has arisen

00:17:47 Gain and loss; the first of four pairs; caught in a cycle

00:26:50 Status and disgrace; inconsistency 

00:31:01 Censure and praise; pleasure and pain; stoics; welcoming and rebelling

00:40:57 A well-instructed disciple of the nobles discerns things as they are and makes a change; this too shall pass

00:53:31 The change is that the greed does not remain in the mind; neither welcome nor rebel ignorantly; change of lineage (MN 20)

00:57:26 Friendship as a core teaching; wholesome scams; knowledge and wisdom; lack of delusion

01:06:53 Being mindful of changing conditions; welcoming and rebelling are scattered

01:12:08 The further shore is a mental change (saddhā); skepticism, doubt, sati; Bhagavad Gita; Ramayana in Thai culture; Lao Tzu

01:25:22 Becoming ungoverned; dukkha, dukkha-nirodha
