The Qualities to Cultivate and the Faults to Avoid

This section holds the moral vocabulary of the traditions: the virtues they name as worth cultivating and the vices they warn against, paired where a tradition pairs them.

The Western lists are the familiar ones, the four cardinal and three theological virtues, the seven deadly sins, descending from Greek philosophy and Christian teaching. Alongside them the atlas sets the moral categories of other traditions: the paramitas of Buddhism, the kleshas of Buddhist and yogic analysis, and the virtues and vices attached to the sephiroth in Kabbalistic correspondence.
