Choose one heart each morning

A verse for the day, and one of the four immeasurables to practise — kindness, compassion, shared joy or equanimity. In the evening, look back on where you kept it and where you lost it.

The Dhammapada, in plain words

Translated fresh from the Pāli, with the story behind each verse and a simple explanation. Hard texts, made easy to learn — and to listen to.

A mala that counts with you

Swipe or tap the beads of a hand-turned mala, with a gentle click for every recitation. Or simply sit, with a bell to begin and end.

Banya means wisdom.

From prajñā — the wisdom of the Heart Sutra, 반야 in Korean.
