Lost in the matrix, no more! (massively bookmarked sutta table of contents on lucid24.org)

 

One of the goals of lucid24.org, only about 20% complete so far in MN, is to have detailed massively bookmarked table of contexts that:

1. not only serve as table of contents, but gives a concise summary of entire sutta

2. numbered and balanced as a tree in such a way it’s easy to know very quickly where you are in the matrix.

See for example 4👑☸ → MN‍ → MN 46 . If you had been dropped in randomly in any location of a plain sutta translation like Sujato's on suttacentral, there are so many repetitions you’d have no idea where you were in the sutta, what it's talking about.

And on the MN index page  4👑☸ → MN‍ , with abbreviated table of contents for all 152 suttas, you can quickly see the difference between MN 45 and MN 46 (both on the same topic)
