I just downloaded it, and as far as I can tell they’ve done a great job cause there’s no bug- a worry I had because they’re not a huge organization. It’s just an excellent and expanding library of Buddhist texts, many are quite difficult to find in English if at all with also bread and butter sutra. I heard about it from the Wisdom Podcast, which is also excellent teachings and conversations from experienced masters.
Astonishing gift and resource
Bagirathi
How wonderful to start this day with the words of the Buddha at ones fingertips. This app is simply amazing. It probably shouldn’t make a difference to have the texts accessible via an app— but considering these devices are in our hands a huge amount of the day—it does. So grateful this was developed. What a gift to all.
Perfect resource for REAL Buddha quotes
vikingberry
There are so many fake Buddha quotes out on the internet, and especially on a lot of "Buddhist" apps. However this app has true Buddha teachings. I read from this app everyday and I recommend it to others wanting to learn about the Buddha.
