Oo! May I add this image to the OBU index card? I’m also a visual learner and love a good mnemonic

Of course! That’s a slick looking site (bookmarked for later investigation

Awesome! Thanks! Would you like an attribution? If so, what name should I use?
And please let me know if you have any design feedback or ideas (large or small) re the website 
Negatory - I’m just a kid with a magnadoodle
Going through the supermarket recently, I saw two people chatting. “Great”, I silently fumed, “but why would you stand right smack in the intersection of two aisles? How inconsiderate are you?? I mean, who does that???”. It was at this point I recalled the Acrobats simile and my ‘suffering’ assumed its correct proportion, i.e. non-existent.

I borrowed the Sutta Central logo; figured that the graphic’s only ever going to be on this site. Easy to swap it out if there’s objections.
On a side note, I had 3 more sessions on the Clear Mountain Monastery logo but simply lack the necessary skills for that style/task. I mention it simply because it might look like “how does he find time for this, but not for that?”.

Possibly not what you had in mind, but the ‘Eliminate arisen unskilful qualities’ looks like the dragon is going in for a big hug, which is precisely the right technique for this 
Edit: assuming the proper local Covid guidelines are followed

Bhante, google is malicious and ubiquitous.
good morning, google!

I altered the phrase you mentioned - but perhaps you mean the thread overall?
Just a joke about Google, that’s all!

@moderators, I’m aware that the uploaded file size is not nothing, but have seen people upload bigger. Let me know if it’s too large, I can shrinkydink to lower quality.

As long as the system lets you upload the file it is fine.
Identical files are only stored once, but can be referenced anytime by using the upload link in the original post like this:

A version of MN2 rough as, but sufficient for recall.

So… someone asked me “If it’s true, can I say it?” I was reminded of this sutta:
https://suttacentral.net/mn58/
That’s a bit hard to grok, so I made a flowchart. Let me know if I got it right!

I’d go with “Beneficial?” rather than “Harmful?” in the second step in order to filter out idle chatter too

I love it. Personally, I find the concept clear enough 
…still working on the implementation but.
@moderators, if Bhikkhu @sujato is happy, might this thread merge with sutta-memes-as-images? I was unaware of that thread when I started; it’s the same general idea and already has many great memes.
