Talk: Building on the body practices, and the wisdom reflections they initiate, starting to look at the basis for suffering via the experience of Affect, or vedanā, the pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral charge that accompanies every sensory experience. And how these 3 basic affect categories give rise to the 3 great defilements: grasping/lust, aversion/hatred, delusion/ignorance.
