So if you see a smoke alarm, it's the image for antidote number three of the, how many? Eight antidotes to how many problems? Five problems.

And what was problem number three? Oh, I love it. Oh, I kiss you, but you got this weird beard.

Yeah, it was the lady who's restlessness yelling at her husband who is sleepiness on the couch, right? So the third problem of meditation was either busy mind or sleepy mind. You can call it agitation or dullness if you're writing a scholarly book, but really it's just busy mind and sleepy mind.

Same thing, okay? And the antidote, the traditional antidote is sheshin, okay? What's sheshin?

Somebody tell me. Yeah, it's the little guy in the back of your head who watches your mind to see if you're getting sleepy or busy, okay? Now, here's a deeper examination.

What's the classical comment that most lamrims will make when they say watchful mind or smoke detector mind is the solution for problem number three? What's the comment that most lamrims will make at this very moment? Yeah, good.

Catching it isn't really fixing it. Antidote number three is not an antidote, okay? That's a traditional explanation for the last thousand years.
