Hi all,
I created this Dhamma chart today. Any comments welcome. If you see any mistakes, if you have any advice as to how it can be improved, or if anything important is missing, please tell me.
Larger version (English) ...

Hi Stephen
For the first time I found a such summarized version in one chart. I did not have time to proof read it, but seems very comprehensive.
I saved it in my computer for future reference.
I hope a beginner will not be overwhelmed by this!

Wow at a quick glance that looks really useful. My only suggestion would be, did you consider colour-coding it?

I thought about a color-code as well, else putting it in three dimensions.
Otherwise, just memorize it.

Stephen, would you mind if I used yours to make my own colour-coded version at some point? Of course if I ever post it anywhere I will give proper credit
It is a brilliant resource.

Nice work stephen.
If I may suggest under Sangha..
i know, i know space is a luxury
a. Spelling: Once
Returner
b. Under the 4 stages of sainthood:
i. those in training under the respective 4
http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka ... .than.html
The four pairs are (1) the person on the path to stream-entry, the person experiencing the fruit of stream-entry;
(2) the person on the path to once-returning, the person experiencing the fruit of once-returning;
(3) the person on the path to non-returning, the person experiencing the fruit of non-returning;
(4) the person on the path to arahantship, the person experiencing the fruit of arahantship.
The eight individuals are the eight types forming these four pairs.
ii. the sevenfold classes of disciples:
Bhikkhu, Bhikkhunī, Sikkhamānā, Samaṇera, Samaṇerī, Upāsaka & Upāsikā
Keep the charts coming

Hi plwk, I have made a few changes to the sangha section to accord with some of your suggestions. I think laypeople are not considered part of the sangha, so I've just included monks, nuns, and novices.

It looks great!
The only thing I see missing is the 5 types of wrong livelihood under "Right Livelihood"
The Cliff notes version of Theravada Buddhism!

Great Chart Stephen
Personally I'd love the additional pali words but that would take up too much space. Very good overview!

I can make one entirely in Pali if you want! It wouldn't be that difficult.

That would be wonderful! If it uses the same layout, one would have a quick reference layout for core pali terms!
