00:00 Dukkha is even little dissatisfaction’s; dissatisfaction is taught by society

04:20 The second noble truth: we make ourselves dissatisfied; on stage, reading a script

08:45 Having to get things done; sati: remember to look and make a change

11:57 No matter what happens I can make a change: confidence (sammā sankappa)

14:08 Parent, child, adult; competition (māna)

17:56 Car exercise (a training to wake up)

21:41 Hopelessness has a lot of caring; don’t need no hope

26:12 Dependent origination (paticcasamuppāda); stagecoach analogy

34:41 Looking at how the mind works; looking for authorities instead of making friends

40:20 Be a good friend to yourself; we are the emperor here; supermundane Dhamma

43:11 Create something really valuable: a happy life; play

48:34 Learn to be satisfied in this moment; enjoy this next breath
