Wei Wu Wei Ching Lite vs Bodhisattva Vows

Wei wu Wei Ching puts a collection of diamond cutting tools in the pocket of anyone who wants to realize enlightenment, the Self, Big Mind. While realization ultimately cannot be surrounded or captured with words, along the way they have power. It is possible to catalyze the transformation of ordinary understanding into Diamond Mind with them. This lite version includes a consulting tool, a journaling tool, and the complete odd-numbered passages. Full book content is available through an In-App Purchase. The text is configured as an oracular text, just like the I Ching, to facilitate concentration upon a particular teaching with respect to a specific question. It centers primarily around wei wu wei, the ancient Taoist notion that translates roughly to “doing not-doing”. By whatever name or not-name, this practice is the core teaching of every enlightenment tradition in the world. Enlightenment is a real thing, the realest thing, the pearl beyond all other pearls. The emphasis on doing non-doing here stems from the universal understanding across the world’s spiritual cultures that attaining it is more often a matter of leaning back into it than of bearing down upon it. The teachings of the Wei wu Wei Ching are sourced in Tao, Ch’an, Zen, Sufism, Native American spirituality, Tibetan Buddhism, Advaita, yoga, and other traditions less easily named. They come from the mountains of China, the monasteries (and whorehouses!) of Japan, the clouds above Persia, a red road in Montana, the jungles of the Amazon, the earth of the Earth.

Bodhisattva Vows is a private daily practice tool for Mahayana Buddhist practitioners who have taken the 64 Bodhisattva vows and wish to maintain a regular examination of their conduct. WHAT IT DOES Each day, open the app and reflect on your vows one by one. Mark each as kept or missed, add a personal note if something stands out, and finish with a session summary showing where your practice stands. THREE WAYS TO PRACTICE - Full Review — work through all 64 vows in sequence, as traditionally recommended - Focus Set — select a personal set of vows to work with intensively for a period, then rotate to others - Random Draw — let the app select a fresh set each session for a less predictable reflection PATTERN TRACKING After several sessions, the app surfaces vows you tend to miss most often. These patterns become a gentle guide, helping you notice where your conduct needs the most attention without any judgment or pressure. DESIGNED FOR PRACTICE The interface is intentional and unhurried — no gamification, no streaks, no social features. Just the vows, your reflection, and your notes. All data stays on your device and is never shared. REMINDERS Set one or more daily reminders to help you build a consistent practice. Choose from preset times or set your own. THE VOWS All 64 vows are included with their Tibetan titles and full English descriptions, drawn from the ACI (Asian Classics Institute) course materials from Geshe Michael Roach. The 18 root downfalls and 46 secondary offenses are clearly organized and searchable. This app is offered freely as a support for practice. May it benefit all beings.
