Verified Buddha quotes daily, with sources, reflections, reminders & a widget
Bodhi Leaf brings you one verified Buddhist teaching every day, traced to its source, with a quiet moment to reflect on it.
Many “Buddha quotes” online were never said by the Buddha. Every teaching in Bodhi Leaf comes from the Dhammapada, one of the oldest and best-loved collections of the Buddha’s words, and each one shows its chapter, verse, translator and license. No made-up quotes, no guesswork. Just authentic Buddhist wisdom you can trust.
A DAILY PRACTICE, NOT A FEED
Quote of the day: one teaching each morning, the same in the app, the widget and your reminder
A thought to carry: a short reflection prompt to take into your day
“I’ve reflected”: mark the day and grow your practice tree, one leaf at a time. Missed days never take leaves away
Echo: teachings you saved come back after 7, 30 and 90 days, so you can see how your understanding has changed
