Quantity vs Quality of LIfe

0:52 - Suffering opens the path to eEnlightenment
1:41 - Don’t be mistaken because life isn’t just about suffering
3:15 - Training your mind to gain power over non-beneficial thoughts
4:07 - Quality vs Quantity of Life - spoilt for choice and the trap of wellness accumulation and spiritual acquisition
5:16 - Unknowingly, we bring our worldly mindsets onto the spiritual journey
5:43 - The monk who wanted a eucalyptus tree
7:42 - Stop trying to find peace, learn to make peace and be peace instead.
9:08 - Having a purpose in life is not enough if you can’t find a meaning to that purpose.
10:32 - Are your purpose and meaning being re-applied to scale with change?
11:15 - The intention behind every purpose is to liberate ourselves from something. Learn to find joy when suffering ends.
12:49 - Liberate yourself from this endless cycle of finding purpose and confusing yourself
14:15 - True Meditation has neither form nor external object.
14:59 - Don’t interpret your experience, just be here, be still and wisdom will guide you.
16:25- Meditation masters don’t go into a cave to breathe in any fancy or weird way for an entire year, neither do they visualise light over and over again.
