Impermanence through the image of the Little Prince's rose. Is everything really dukkha just because it's transient? More on samatha & vipassanā. Stages in relinquishing reactivity. The Buddha's awakening as a discovery of secular faith, connecting impermanence to beauty & care, liberation through mettā.

His (and our) addiction to both pleasure and suffering. The four efforts as different strategies of practice, moving from problem-fixing to sustaining naturally occuring non-reactivity. Samatha as settling the mind, vipassanā as understanding how that happened. The awakening factors, joy at the release of reactivity & the first jhāna.
