Content / Description
Self: what is going to die so that we get to freedom? Self, I, conceit; Science: the young generation believes too much in science (medicine, physics etc.) what was considered right yesterday is wrong tomorrow, but we forget; Tricks to fight the kilesas: they constantly lie to us, we have to oppose them with 'No' or 'Not sure'; Appana samadhi through wisdom: you have to oppose the kilesas until they retreat and then the citta can enter into deep samadhi; Awareness: when we eat, we eat and don't think about the next thing, same while sweeping, sitting, walking etc. Kamma and science: if it's your kamma to be healed, you'll be healed, else, you'll die; Cause of death: it's not this or that illness or food or whatever else. For each being, the cause of death is birth; Body contemplation: comparaison with a chemical factory; Kamma & will power.
