respectively. I have also added a new section here, on the modes of

As with the Sanskrit text, there are three basic ways of presenting
the topics: simple lists, extended analytic lists, and lists followed by
analyses, or further definitions. In the Sanskrit text these were
roughly equal (8, 10, 9). But in this collection I have tried to give
more details by including definitions, sometimes from sources other
than those that the lists themselves come from.
Simple lists may sound uninteresting, but they do serve to delineate
the topic they are defining, and many of the more extensive analyses
also use lists to analyse the main subject they are examining.
Simple lists:
14. The Sixteen Modes of Mindfulness while Breathing
17. The Four Bases of Spiritual Power
26. The Twenty-Two Triads
27. The Twenty-Four Conditions
32. The Eighteen Qualities of a Buddha
33. The Thirty-Two Marks of a Great Man
35. The Eighty Secondary Characteristics
Extended lists:
3. The Four Factors of a Stream-Enterer
9. The Four Formless Attainments
10. The Four Spiritual States
13. The Ten Thoughts
28. The Seventy-Three Knowledges
