Dhammarato outlines the only teaching of the Buddha that is set in noticing the Dukkha and getting rid of it immediately, and contra distinguishes it with the western mindset of meditating on just simply noticing the Dukkha without doing anything about it. He playfully compares it with 'taking a bath versus swimming in the sewer'. He helps Gurvinder conclude that even thoughts that don't contain ill-will, greed or delusion are unwholesome.
