Soréa offers 200 passages per language, with a strong focus on Zen: 196 Zen passages and 4 Shinto excerpts. Discover selections from the Shōbōgenzō Zuimonki and the Ōharae no kotoba purification ritual. Texts are available in French, English, Spanish, Portuguese and Japanese.

READ AT YOUR OWN PACE
Open the daily passage for a short reading, or draw a random passage to discover another text. Pause over a sentence, reflect on its meaning and return to readings that stay with you. Random selections may show a passage you have already read.

KEEP AND SHARE YOUR DISCOVERIES
Save passages to your favorites so you can find them again. Share a quote to start a conversation or pass a reading on to someone close to you. References accompany the texts and help you connect each passage with its source.

TAKE YOUR READING WITH YOU
The content is included in the app, so passages are available offline after installation. Choose from the available content languages to read the same selection in another language.

Start with today's passage, save a favorite and gradually build your own reading journey. There is room for a brief pause or a longer return to a text that caught your attention.

In Settings → Experimental, enable “Original text + translation” to show the source text above the translation when available. This option is off by default; widgets and shared quotations keep the selected reading language. Texts and translations remain working drafts under review, including some AI-assisted versions. No religious endorsement or complete editorial approval is claimed.
