The Cause of Suffering and the Way to End it: the Patañjali Yoga Sūtras

This lecture by Dr Dara Tatray will provide an outline of the key treatise on yoga, focusing especially on the way in which Patañjali treats the mental processes that stand in the way of awareness and liberation.
Understanding the structure of ordinary consciousness is prerequisite to freeing ourselves from its inherent limitations; limitations which can be very destructive, as may be seen on the daily news.

Each of the great religions treats of suffering and salvation. The Patañjali Yoga Sūtras provides us with the nuts and bolts of the religious life in a uniquely practical way, largely applicable to all faiths.
