00:00:00 The jhāna factors; piti and sukha: mastering them separately and together (MN 119)

00:04:51 Sukha is safety, security, comfort, and satisfaction; freedom from dukkha

00:11:05 The first three steps of the noble eightfold path

00:15:22 Jumping between the stages of ānāpānasati; sati; right view; right effort; confidence (MN 48) 

00:27:34 Piti is very energetic, but can relax back into sukha; success; all five factors of first jhāna

00:34:06 Feeling becomes primary: second jhāna: piti; third jhāna: sukha; fourth jhāna: equanimity (upekkha)

00:37:51 Putting the horse into a corral; buddho - relax into second jhāna

00:41:41 Purifying the body and mind; wakefulness; lucid dreaming

00:51:24 Building sukha to get to the piti; everything is arising and passing away; Daniel Ingram; maps

01:03:38 Can you remember to come back to the first jhāna?

01:06:08 Anchoring and enjoyment; focussing on the entire experience; arising and passing away

01:14:00 Training ourselves to let go of things; samsara; easy come, easy go
