00:00:00 How to figure out dependent origination (paticcasamuppāda); the second noble truth
00:02:31 The Five Aggregates (khandas) and the Four Foundations of Mindfulness (satipatthāna) as function and structure
00:05:40 The Five Aggregates are impermanent; clinging to the body; anatta
00:17:08 Viññana - consciousness: a sense organ that can sense something; the ability of knowing; the mind senses old data (sankhara)
00:27:36 We can change how we fee about things; perception can be changed; reaction time
00:31:55 Sati is the noble way of dealing with the Five Aggregates; ignorant sankharas; new sankharas
00:37:25 Guarding the sense doors; choosing the right environment; wise endurance
00:43:01 Salāyatana is what impacts us; contact; feelings; “neutral” feelings are actually confusion
00:53:00 Interrupting the cycle of liking, wanting, needing
00:55:43 Pali terms; delusional ignorance; making the name into reality (nāmarūpa/perception); kicked by the salāyatana 
01:03:09 Four types of clinging: self, things, rules, views; instincts; dukkha-dukkha-nirodha
01:15:05 All twelve steps and the four woeful states; hell (anger), hungry ghost (wanting), dumb animal (rule follower), asuras 
01:20:02 Just a few mind moments; wisdom at the point of contact; first, wise vedanā
