Well, that chakra thing was more like the stuff in hindu/tantric 
tradition, I gave it as an example.  I guess you can see that stuff in 
many new-age books and several trendy women's magazines. However, many of 
the old buddhist texts ARE composed into a form that could be represented 
in tables and lists. Even the usual "core" of Theravada-buddhism is a list 
(Right thinking, right action, right meditation, etc.). Mahayana, and to 
greater extent Zen buddhism make an exception.
 
But, I'm a poor student, so I can't afford any books that are not 
available in the library or the net. So my knowledge of traditions is 
rather vague.
