There is this great website which gives a quick overview of the essential dhammas in Buddhism together with translation of pali terms and an overview explanation of the Tipitaka. I find this very useful as quick-encyclopedia.

The Dhamma list is also available for download as a PDF-file.

I tried to copy and paste the list into a text box here but its very difficult since it destroys the formatting and it takes a long time to clean it up.

Could we somehow get the list on Buddhism SE so other users can benefit from it too?

    I've just put another idea in this meta question of where we could put useful resources such as your Dhamma list. Might be a good place to keep it? – Crab Bucket Jul 1 '15 at 18:25

That's enormously helpful. I was going to ask a question about all the lists to see if someone had collated them - but it's already been excellently done here. I'm not sure about the best way to get a list of resources.

What about a meta question (or a main site question as a wiki) asking for peoples favourite resources (like the classics such as access to insight and the lesser known). When we could edit it down and format it then perhaps put a featured tag on it.

Or there could be another way to do it. I think of ChrisW as the stack exchange engine expert so maybe he has some ideas

  • Sounds like some good ideas. Let's see what Chris will say about it. I could do it the old fashion way and copy/paste it into an answer and then format it all so it will look like on the website it links to. Problem is when one copy/paste it it is inserted as a big clump of text. I do think that we should do something since this is really beneficial, especially for new comers who needs to have a quick dhamma-overview when studying the texts. – Lanka♦ Jun 28 '15 at 22:00

    That is a really nice, concise "list of lists" for a more Theravada based study. There would be several differences for students of Mahayana such as 6 perfections rather than 10, focus on Bodhisatva rather than 4 stages of enlightenment I think, etc. But the idea of a wiki of helpful links seems like a really good idea. There have been a lot of great links built into particular answers that would be wonderful to have in one place as a resource. Is there a quick way of finding out what wiki's we already have? Maybe I've just missed something obvious but I can't seem to spot our current wiki's. – Robin111 Jun 29 '15 at 12:21

  • Great, thanks @ChrisW! I've been wondering what our wiki selection consisted of. :) – Robin111 Jun 29 '15 at 22:33
  • @Robin. Good you mention the other traditions we should of course also have them in an answer too. I have posted a question about it now. Would you mind checking it and see if it looks OK or if something should be altered? – Lanka♦ Jun 30 '15 at 8:46
