S.I.G. -- Buddhist 'Cheat Sheet"

This pretty accurate?

Yup. I have this sheet on my wall.

Right on, Adder and Br. John are the only other ones I know well enough to ask, so I have stickyed this for others...

Nice chart, interesting!! I'm no authority on Buddhism but it's a long running interest for sure!! These things have always reminded me of optics, like groups of attributes which serve as a lens to illuminate some aspect of self. There is quite a of lot of them in Buddhism and so I found I moved between different set's at different times. It did seem 'progressive' but I'm sure we all arrive at each point in time based on so many different factors that the linearity is illusory.

I like that

Cheat sheet implies a short cut? I see this as a map?

I could buy that...

I look at it as a shortcut to these ideas, as I'm not familiar with Buddhist thought, this is something Id like read and ponder..

Rather than thumbing through carious texts on Buddhism...

The thing that is missing from this chart is the "why".

One could find that out for themselves through experience.
Or, they could read a bunch of books... and then still only be able to understand it through experience.
