The 30-Part Dhamma Framework — Complete Series
A concise, practice-oriented guide to Paṭiccasamuppāda (Dependent Origination). Read Part 1 first; use this page as your table of contents, reading plan, and glossary reference.
How to use this series
- Start with Part 1 — it frames the entire path.
- Read sequentially for conceptual clarity (Parts 1–10), then the practical sections (11–20), and finish with deep integration (21–30).
- Each Part includes: Intro → Core explanation → Examples → Short summary → Further reading.
- Keep Pāli terms in italics with a short gloss on first use; do not translate or localize Pāli slugs (store translations by lang_code only).
- Translators: keep metadata (title, meta description, slug) unchanged; translate body text only and save the translated row with the same article_id and the appropriate lang_code.
Quick start
- Part 1 — Dependent Origination
- Part 6 — Citta, Perception, and Fabrication
- Part 20 — Nirodha in Practice
For importers / translators
Recommended DB slug for this landing page: the-30-part-dhamma-framework. Keep slugs identical across languages and set article_translations.lang_code appropriately.
Suggested meta_description for DB field: “A concise, practice-oriented guide to Paṭiccasamuppāda (Dependent Origination). A 30-part series explaining how experience, identity, suffering and rebirth arise — and how they end.”
Reading notes for translators
- Preserve Pāli terms in italics and add a brief gloss in parentheses on first occurrence: e.g. saṅkhāra — "fabrications".
- Do not localize the slugs. Import translated files with the same slug in the DB but with the corresponding lang_code (article_translations.lang_code).
- If a definition is ambiguous, keep the English technical phrasing and add a translator note rather than rewriting the claim.
