BuddhaUR is an AI Buddhist teacher grounded in the early Buddhist texts, with sources you can check for yourself.
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 about meditation, stress, relationships, ethics, or the deeper teachings, and the answer draws on the Buddha's discourses in translation.
Answers can include citations to the suttas. Tap a citation to read the passage yourself.
WHAT MAKES BUDDHAUR DIFFERENT
• Authentic Sources — The app draws on early Buddhist suttas (Bhikkhu Sujato's translations via SuttaCentral). Not generic mindfulness. Real Dhamma.
• Citations You Can Check — Tap [1] or [2] to see the sutta passage. Trust, then verify.
• A Teacher, Not a Chatbot — The AI is instructed to teach in the style of the early texts: asking questions, using stories and metaphors to make ancient wisdom practical.
