经折 SutraFold is a clean, trustworthy reader for Chinese Buddhist sutras and mantras — a digital 课诵本 for English-educated Chinese Buddhists. Each text is presented line by line in three layers — Chinese characters, liturgical pinyin, and English meaning — and every layer can be toggled on or off. Read the characters alone, chant from the pinyin, or study with the translation alongside. INCLUDED TEXTS • 心经 Heart Sutra • 大悲咒 Great Compassion Mantra • 阿弥陀经 Amitabha Sutra • 普门品 Universal Gate Chapter (Lotus Sūtra ch. 25) • 往生咒 Rebirth Dhāraṇī FAITHFUL, NOT FLATTENED • One edition per text: characters from a named canonical source (CBETA / Taishō), pinyin from a named liturgical edition — never merged from multiple sources. • Liturgical readings, not dictionary pinyin (般若 = bō rě, 南无 = ná mó). • English translations are public-domain or freely licensed, reproduced with full attribution. • Every text shows its sources — provenance is displayed, not buried. • Dharanis are left untranslated, as the tradition intends, with a short note about their meaning and use. FREE, FOREVER The texts are free and always will be. No accounts, no ads, no tracking, no gamification. Works fully offline — all texts are bundled with the app.
