## What is Buddha Hall?

Make time to explore and read. Choose from five environments: Quiet Sanctuary, Light Court · Everyday Objects, Bamboo Court, Moonlit Lotus Court, and Stone Grotto of Light. Look closely at the objects around you, then return to a scripture whenever you wish.

Six built-in works offer 214 passages with a complete, aligned plain-language guide in each supported language: the Heart Sutra, Diamond Sutra, Universal Gate Chapter, Great Compassion Mantra, Guanyin Invocation, and Dedication of Merit. The original, guide, and pronunciation aid, where available, appear together. Your reading position is saved, and you can write a dedication when you finish.

On iPhone, explore environments and objects and read independently, with a layout that adapts to your screen. On Apple Vision Pro, enter immersive halls and place objects in your space to move, rotate, and resize them freely.

On Apple Vision Pro, SharePlay reading is available only in the original Quiet Sanctuary. Participants follow the same Chinese passage while each uses their own guide language. Reading records, prayers, and dedications remain personal and are not shared with the group.

The interface and plain-language guides support 20 languages. The classical Chinese original remains unchanged in traditional characters in every language. Pronunciation aids are available only for the Heart Sutra, Great Compassion Mantra, and Guanyin Invocation. They show the original's Chinese pronunciation in Roman letters.

Object descriptions identify sources and distinguish original works, reproductions, and contemporary creations, so you can understand what you are exploring.
