BuddhaUR: Buddhism Guide
Dhamma • AI • Cited Sources
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad
BuddhaUR is your personal Buddhist teacher - powered by AI, grounded in the earliest texts, with every teaching cited so you can verify.
Ask real questions. Get thoughtful answers. See the sources.
LEARN BUDDHISM THROUGH CONVERSATION
BuddhaUR brings the wisdom of early Buddhism to life through AI-powered conversation. Ask any question—about meditation, stress, relationships, ethics, or the deeper teachings—and receive warm, patient guidance grounded in the Buddha's own words.
Every response includes citations to the original suttas. Tap any source to read the ancient text yourself.
WHAT MAKES BUDDHAUR DIFFERENT
• Authentic Sources — Teachings come from early Buddhist suttas (Bhikkhu Sujato translations via SuttaCentral). Not generic mindfulness. Not AI hallucinations. Real Dhamma.
• Citations You Can Verify — Every claim is cited. Tap [1] or [2] to see the sutta passage. Trust, then verify.
• A Teacher, Not a Chatbot — The AI is trained to teach in the style of the early texts: patient, Socratic, using stories and metaphors to make ancient wisdom practical.
