00:00 There are two Buddhisms: ordinary (magical with no relief of dukkha) and noble/supermundane

03:56 Rebirth and reincarnation: no one knows whether they exist or not; Visuddhimagga untrustworthy 

06:09 Magical translators; rebirth of mood; identity

08:06 Wise attention: right here, right now; the four noble truths

09:48 The Buddha doesn’t ask you to attain anything - stopping, dropping

11:31 The eightfold noble method; right effort; applied and sustained wholesome thought

14:54 Obstructions and hindrances are unwholesome; living in the future

17:59 Skills to be developed: three groups; gladdening the mind; sati, ditthi, effort 

23:46 The state of sukha: safe, secure, comfortable, and satisfied — an attitude of success

27:50 Right noble unification of mind; morality

31:44 Nothing’s left; Zen Buddhism; enjoy the vacant lot; subtle and profound, but not difficult
