About this app

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.

FEATURES

Ask Anything
Chat freely about Buddhist practice, life challenges, or doctrinal questions. The AI retrieves relevant passages from thousands of sutta chunks and responds with grounded, cited answers.

49 Structured Lessons
From the Four Noble Truths to Dependent Origination—clear curriculum for beginners and depth for experienced practitioners. Each lesson is a conversation, not a wall of text.

Quizzes & Adaptive Practice

Just as the great ocean has one taste—the taste of salt—so too this Dhamma has one taste: the taste of liberation."* — Udāna 5.5
