Quote:Buddhism by the numbersBy Nancy Haught Twenty-five centuries ago, the Buddha taught with lists. The Four Noble Truths. The Five Precepts. The Eightfold Path. These numbered lists helped his followers memorize and pass along his teachings orally for about 500 years before they were written down. Read entire article I found this very interesting: " These numbered lists helped his followers memorize and pass along his teachings orally for about 500 years before they were written down." If I recall correctly, it was quite some time before the Quran was also finally written down - funny that. |
