@crystalmarini @annedraya I would be very interested in checking what arrangement of lists you find relevant to your understanding of the Dhamma.

Do you know of this paper? Check page 8 of the pdf (p. 154 of paper) where the authors do a diagram of various #matikas together.

Rupert Gethin, “The Matikas: Memorization, Mindfulness and the List”, 1992

"Most people coming into contact with Buddhist literature and thought outside traditional Buddhist cultures are probably struck by the fact that it seems to be full of lists. [...] It is apparent that much of the scriptural sutta material preserved in the four primary Nikayas can be regarded as exposition based around lists of one sort or another"

Introducing myself as a newcomer.

I have been studying then practicing #buddhism over the span of 2 decades now. I went through a #TibetanBuddhism phase, a #Theravada phase, and I found my home in #zen and more specifically #sotozen.

I am a #machinelearning geek, so I did stuff like trying to extract #matikas out of the #palicanon to support my #abhidharma study.

I now focus on #koan study / contemplation / investigation / whatever non-word applies here. In particular the #gatelessgate.
