Bodhi Tree: Buddhist Practice

Every Bodhi Tree feature is free. Read daily teachings and sutras, follow Practice Paths, meditate, and keep private reflections in English or Traditional Chinese.

Bodhi Tree is a quiet companion for Buddhist practice and study, grounded in real scripture and available in English and Traditional Chinese. Open it for today's teaching or a simple meditation timer. Lotus Breath offers a short guided practice. No account, social feed, ads, or tracking.

Bodhi Tree brings together daily verses, sutras, guided Practice Paths, meditation, and private reflection in one app that works offline. Its readings include the Dhammapada, Heart Sutra, Diamond Sutra, Amitabha Sutra, and selected suttas from the Pali Canon. It supports newcomers and longtime practitioners across Theravada, Zen, Tibetan, Pure Land, and broader Mahayana traditions.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• TODAY: Read a daily teaching suited to the tradition you follow. Open the verse to see its source and reflection. • PATHS: Follow six guided Practice Paths with short daily steps, including Calm Anxiety, Following the Breath, Letting Go, The Four Hearts, Impermanence, and Sleep. • MOMENTS: Find scripture based readings for anger, loss, change, relationships, and other parts of daily life. • MEDITATE: Use a quiet timer with singing bowl, temple bell, or zen bowl sounds, interval bells, and Lotus Breath. • REFLECT: Keep private journal entries, end of session notes, bookmarks, and daily check ins. Search helps you return to past entries. • YOU: Set traditions, reminders, language, appearance, iCloud sync, and saved teachings. • WIDGETS: Keep today's teaching on your Home Screen.

BUILT FOR PRACTICE

Bodhi Tree is designed for a steady, personal practice. There are no streak penalties or infinite feeds. Bell of Mindfulness reminders are optional and configurable.

PRIVACY

Your reflections, bookmarks, and journal entries stay on your device. Optional iCloud sync uses your personal iCloud account. Bodhi Tree has no third party analytics, advertising SDKs, or trackers. Apple Health access is optional and only saves completed meditation sessions as Mindful Minutes when you grant permission.

FULLY FREE

Every feature is available without a subscription or paywall. If Bodhi Tree supports your practice, the You tab offers three optional one time contributions. Contributions do not unlock content or create an entitlement. Payments are processed by Apple.

A NOTE FROM US

Bodhi Tree is named for the tree under which the Buddha is said to have awakened. May this app offer a clear place to read and sit.
