List of Buddhist Lists

Often one of the first things a newcomer to Buddhism is struck by is all the lists – the 4 of this, the 5 of that, 8 of these, and the 37(!) of those. This information may seem overwhelming, especially since there are 100s of lists. The following is an attempt to develop a basic list of lists. If one can get the mind wrapped around these lists, one will have many of the essentials necessary to understand the Buddha’s teaching.
