About this app
Be an island unto yourself — Transform your daily spiritual practice into a natural, mindful lifestyle.
Vihara (Cung Tu) is a comprehensive Theravada Buddhist study and practice companion, grounded in a peaceful, non-punitive user experience (No streak pressure, no gamified distractions) and complete Offline-First privacy. Vihara harmoniously bridges the two essential pillars of Buddhist life: Pariyatti (Dhamma Study through Structured Curriculums & the Pali Canon) and Patipatti (Direct Practice through Authentic Monastery Routines, Breath Awareness, Uposatha Observance & Mindful Virtues).
