Dhamma 101 FAQ

Discussion is on the mailing list

  dhamma-list@yahoogroups.com

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: So how does it work?

A: Once a week I'll post to the list, enumerating one or more lists
on an important aspect of the Dhamma. There will be links for
further reading, some of my own poorly reflected thoughts on the
subject, and a kind invitation to share your input.

All my posts will have "101:" in the subject line. You are encouraged
to keep it like that in your replies, and to use it in any threads
you start on the subject. This way, people can filter the posts.



Q: Where do these lists come from?

A: While someone suggested David Snyder's Book, I don't own a copy
(yet). Also, there are other lists, such as the Anguttara Nikaya
in the Canon itself, and reference indices like the "Index by
Numbers" on accesstoinsight.org, the table of contents of many
dhamma books, and so on.

So I decided to compile a list of lists myself, building on anything
I have access to. I'm willing to put this list online somewhere,
and to collaborate with anyone interested.



Q: Who are you anyway, teaching Dhamma?

A: I don't intend to *teach* Dhamma - and please, please tell me
if I ever seem to be doing so. I'm a long-time lurker on D-L, and
Stephen's idea seems good, and I hope to *learn* from you all. I'd
like to tickle you into sharing your significant insights.

If any one of the Venerable Bhikkhus on the list would like to
expound on the weekly subject, or even suggest a new subject, I'd
be more than happy, of course.
