- Simply to exist on earth is to suffer
- Suffering is tied to desire
- Elimination of desire means the end to suffering
- The method is the 8-fold path
These 8 steps are as follows: (1) Harmlessness or self-restraint (Yama); (2) Self-purification and contentment (Niyama); (3) Posture (Sana); (4) Breath and prana control (Pranayama); (5) Introspection or abstraction (Pratyahara); (6) Concentration (Dharana); (7) Contemplation (Dhyana); (8) Superconsciousness or Oneness (Samadhi).
