The language is opaque
Even in translation the lines fold back on themselves; you finish a passage no surer than you began.

Chapter 10 · The Pure Land
Tap a line, read every master
Thus should the bodhisattvas give rise to a pure mind: a mind not dwelling in form, nor in sound, scent, taste, touch, or thought — a mind that, dwelling nowhere, gives rise to itself.

"When the mind dwells on things, it binds itself." To dwell is to grasp. Non-dwelling is not blankness — it is thought after thought, unsnagged by circumstance.
CBETA base text
Classical commentary
Alignment confidence
Sourced study
Not generic answers. A deep reader for one classic.
The product already turns Kumārajīva's CBETA base text, Gemmell's English support translation, and public-canon commentaries into browsable, clickable, source-aware layers. Each reading points back to evidence instead of sounding merely plausible.
01
Click any line, understand at once
Tap a verse and the classical commentaries explain it in plain words. No books, no search.
02
Every master, side by side
One line — Huineng's reading and Zongle's — laid out together, so you can judge for yourself.
03
Always sourced
Every reading cites its classical source and notes how confident the alignment is — nothing unfounded.
Why it matters
Sound familiar?
贰
Too many commentaries
Huineng, Hanshan, Nan Huai-Chin… whom do you trust? They don't even agree with one another.
叁
General AI invents
Ask ChatGPT and you get a plausible answer with no source — and no way to know whether it's right.
About this project
A personal project, built by one student of the Diamond Sutra. The reason is simple — I couldn't find the right tool for my own reading, so I made one. I hope it helps a fellow traveler. Free to use. If it helps you, a gift toward server costs is welcome.
