Feel free to download and spread the word. This should be the final version, as I don’t see any further errors possible. See the description on the Anki website for details. Includes audio, split into many files. At a modest 4 new cards per day, it’s estimated to be completable in 9 months.
Next one I am going to do is Dhammapada, then Bhikkhuni Pātimokkha.
I personally used anki to memorized the whole thing, but it does require revision, which I haven’t done and solidify the whole thing. I am the first customer and it’s good enough, and I split the long rules into many parts, NP 10 is split into 16 parts, and recombined into one. So it’s not as daunting to finish the whole thing. At 4 new cards per day, include back and front, it would take 9 days to finish the NP 10, or a bit longer if you optimize for 2 pāli, and 2 english side for the 4 per day, which is good.

I’m confused. How does this work? The cards have Pāli on the front and immediately start playing the audio. Am I supposed to chant along with him?
I assume you have read the description in the website.
Yes, the initial card is Pāli first, chant along and get familiar first, then you get to see the english meaning on the other side. Try to memorize the Pāli from here. Press good once you can recite it from memory, or else continue to press hard. Then after a few good button press, it will go into tomorrow. Then do it for tomorrow again. Then it should move to many days later. The 3rd day, then you get the english and you’re supposed to chant the Pāli. The english is more of a cue, try not to translate back from the English if you know Pāli. Just do it from memory. The process repeats.
This ensures a lot of repetition and chances to solidify the chanting. Chanting along can help in pronunciation and speed, if you have a different chanting style, you can always ask anki in the settings to not auto play the audio.
Thank you. This is wonderful… you posted right around the time I took a vow to memorize the Patimokkha during the 2026 vassa.
I’ll still arrange my study schedule by the pages in Ajaan Thanissaro’s translation. But these flashcards are very helpful, as is the audio of Bhante Ariyadhammika chanting.
All the best wishes!
