00:00 Sambojjhanga: the seven factors of awakening; skills already developed (unremitting)

03:38 Sambojjhanga and the noble eightfold path; sati: coming back to the present moment; effort to energy

11:05 Differences with Goenka: make a change; Ayya Khema

16:08 Bringing the body to a state of comfort; how to be satisfied

19:51 The first three steps are the first three factors; right intention (sammā sankappa)

24:34 Keep getting the mind into a state of sukha; piti is the experience of success (first jhāna)

27:26 Unremitting relaxation (passaddhi)

27:51 Samādhi: bringing the factors together, unification of mind

29:18 Maintaining unification is upekkhā (equanimity)

32:14 Four factors are part of the noble eightfold path; the rest are results

41:14 We practice ānāpānasati to fulfil the four foundations of mindfulness, which develops the noble eightfold path into the seven factors of awakening and brings knowledge and deliverance

43:38 Now figure out how the mind works (paticcasamuppāda); atammayatā; relinquishment

50:06 Practice for short periods numerous times per day
