enough.)





I was just playing around with color, spacing, symmetry, and by symmetry, I
noticed this chart I made works as a great flash card for learning the pali
equivalents for 8 path factors. If you print it out, fold it in have
vertically, one side will be English, other half in pali. Flash card makes a
great toy for your kids to play with. Fun for the whole family!



It also makes a great index or table of contents for a Buddhist wiki or
dhamma info html page. Just picture every word being a hyperlink to a more
detailed page. Much easier to find what you're looking for than on a
monochrome list of text.



By the way, instead of rectangles surrounding the center of a 3x3 matrix, my
intention was to have a circle with 8 spokes, and the path factors written
on each spoke. When it wraps back around, the beauty of it is samma Samadhi
is right next to its best buddy, Right View, instead of coming last in a
list of 8 items. On the other hand, often the last item of a series
introduced is the most important. For example, when the introduce the
lineups for a sports team, the captain or superstar is usually the final
person to take the floor. Saving the best for last.
