Buddhist Calendar: 3D Temple

📖 Scriptures: 588 Pali suttas (all 152 Middle-Length Discourses and more) and 12 Chinese sutras, with human translations by language and English where none exists yet.

Walk through a virtual temple in 3D, from the gate to the main hall, and ring the big temple bell yourself. Keep the Buddhist calendar for your own tradition, read the Dhammapada and the Heart Sutra, and use the meditation timer or the prayer beads counter. The core features work offline, with no account.


🆕 NEW: ABOUT THIS DAY · GUIDED MEDITATION
• “About this day” explains each Buddhist holy day – Uposatha, Vesak, Vassa, Kathina, Obon and more – and how traditions differ
• Guided meditation with a bell at each step: breathing 5 min, loving-kindness (metta) 7 min, body scan 10 min

Virtual Temple is a calm, accurate companion for Buddhist practice: the observance days of your own tradition, the suttas and the Heart Sutra in English, a meditation timer whose bells always ring, and a mala counter – everything stored and calculated on your phone. No account.
