Well, that chakra thing was more like the stuff in hindu/tantric
tradition, I gave it as an example. I guess you can see that stuff in
many new-age books and several trendy women's magazines. However, many of
the old buddhist texts ARE composed into a form that could be represented
in tables and lists. Even the usual "core" of Theravada-buddhism is a list
(Right thinking, right action, right meditation, etc.). Mahayana, and to
greater extent Zen buddhism make an exception.
But, I'm a poor student, so I can't afford any books that are not
available in the library or the net. So my knowledge of traditions is
rather vague.
