Sources

Every excerpt in the app comes from one of the 120 texts listed below. All are English translations by Bhikkhu Sujato published by SuttaCentral. The app bundles the exact source files from the bilara-data repository (branch published) at commit bab9eec4bd9c, checksummed, and displays the segments unchanged. Where an excerpt skips lines within a text, the app shows a visible gap rather than joining the text.

Licence

The translations are dedicated to the public domain under Creative Commons Zero (CC0 1.0). The repository's LICENSE.md at the pinned commit reads:

Each publication's metadata also carries this statement from the translator, quoted verbatim:

Buddhism: Daily Dharma displays these translations unchanged, links each excerpt to its source, and does not use them to train AI models.

About the explanations

The explanations, practice scripts, suggested actions, and reflection questions in the app are original text written for the app. They were developed with AI assistance and checked against the linked source texts. They are one plain-language reading of the passages, not an authoritative interpretation. The app is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or reviewed by Bhikkhu Sujato, SuttaCentral, or any Buddhist organisation.
