Roadmap

I plan to start off by talking about how the Buddha was a Yogi - he studied with the two leading Yoga gurus of his time and practised these techniques prior to gaining enlightenment and becoming the Buddha. I'll talk about Yoga philosophy as outlined in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and try to sort out what I see as some issues with the way it is normally understood. The focus will initially be on the Yamas and Niyamas, especially the Yamas of Ahimsa, Satya, Brahmacharya, Aparigraha and Asteya.

That will take me a while. Then I'll move on to talking about Buddhism.

I don't intend to go in to great detail, at least initially. That way I can cover more ground.
