00:00 Western students think there is a lot to learn; seeing dukkha; looking at cause and effect

12:33 Challenge your thoughts joyfully; right effort

15:53 Feeling light; seeing dukkha in advance

21:35 The Buddha and first jhāna; from dukkha to sukha; reviewing first jhāna

25:48 Wanting more

28:10 Safe, secure, comfortable, satisfied; not a path, a method; getting out of unwholesome thoughts

30:42 Stream entry is being in the flow of the Dhamma; developing the right skills

36:11 “Enlightenment” is just a label

40:53 No magic in the Dhamma; seeing coincidences

43:50 Have fun, make friends
