About Longchen
Longchen is a companion for daily Tibetan Buddhist practice — bringing the prayers, the lineage, the teachings, and the community of practitioners into one calm, focused space. THE PRAYER BOOK • Read prayers in interlinear form — Tibetan script, phonetic transliteration, and translation, line by line. • Auto-scroll at your own pace, with adjustable speed, per-verse repeat, and text sizing. • Search across prayers and build your own collection of favorites. • Create and save your own custom prayers. THE MANDALA OF THE ROOT MASTERS • Explore the lineage through the Mandala of the Root Masters of Sangngak Tenzin Rinpoche. • Tap any master to read their biography and view a gallery of photographs. TEACHINGS • Watch video teachings and structured courses with captions, multiple qualities, and playback speed. • Pick up right where you left off with progress tracking. PRACTICE & COMMUNITY • Count mantras and prayers — including the Vajra Guru mantra and the Seven-Line Prayer. • Track prostrations with clear statistics over time. • Join shared recitations and accumulate together with practitioners around the world. THE GURU'S BOOKS • Read "A White Conch Spiraling Towards Happiness" — poems of a Tibetan master — in a clean, distraction-free reader. THOUGHTFUL DETAILS • Available in English, Russian, Vietnamese, and Tibetan. • Full support for iPhone and iPad, in portrait and landscape. • Light and dark mode. • Read offline. May it support your practice.
What’s new
Version 5.24.0 · Updated October 14, 2026
• New: Pray together. Lead a prayer and everyone nearby follows you verse by verse, each in their own language. Phones connect to each other over Bluetooth, iPhone and Android alike; no internet needed • Your own prayers and practices sync more reliably between devices: a deleted one no longer comes back • A prayer read in Tibetan always shows its Tibetan text • Teachings: the language labels on course cards no longer squeeze; VoiceOver on the Teacher page matches what is on screen • Smaller fixes and improvements
