|
|
|
> I just realized that the [Pali Canon][] is essentially an offline blog.

[Many][AJATT] [blogs][Technium] focus on certain ideas and, over time, accumulate enough posts that people start thinking of them as a (loosely-)connected unit. Over on LessWrong, they call these [Sequences][LW sequences].

The Pali Canon is just that - a collection of Buddhist Sequences.
