SOURCES
Read the words.
Follow them back.
Buddha Daily is built around source-aware reading. Every teaching points to where it came from.
A living reference list for the first release
HOW WE WORK
Short app copy can make an old teaching feel new, but it should not make the source disappear. We keep the citation visible, use plain editorial framing, and prefer translations that are openly available to study. The practice Buddha Daily supports is a quiet, vipassana-inspired habit of daily reading and reflection.
SuttaCentral
Primary-text reference for the twenty foundation guides, with links to discourses on mindfulness, the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, loving-kindness, and related topics.

Every bundled daily passage comes from the English edition translated by F. Max Müller and published in Sacred Books of the East. Project Gutenberg identifies this edition as public domain in the USA. You can read all 365 daily teachings, with their reflections, on the teachings index.

The twenty foundation guides are original educational summaries. They are not presented as scripture or as a replacement for a living teacher, tradition, or sustained study.
