I love this App...

Just one verse of Shantideva is a great way to take my mind off worrying doom-scrolling and upsetting news and putting things onto a larger and more helpful perspective. I have this App on both my iPhone and iPad, so it's easy to access. Instant teaching, whether it's the daily verse or more. Dharma at your fingertips! 🪷🪷🪷

Great App

It’s great to have a verse in a notification reach day. The option to have various languages is much appreciated. Personally I use the English and Sanskrit. I noticed that the Chinese translation isn’t so accurate, but it’s not by the Berzin Archives so it shouldn’t be taken as a reason not to use this app.
