About Anavara — Mindfulness & Zen
Eastern wisdom on curated paths — even if you've never read a sutra. Anavara is a quiet app. No streaks, no points, no coach-speak. Instead: 112 curated paths through Buddhism, Zen, Daoism, Sufi tradition, and related teachings, in plain language. Those already familiar with the sources will find depth. Those new will find a way in. HOW IT WORKS · You pick three themes that occupy you right now. · You're suggested a path — for example "Who am I, really?" or "On dealing with loss." · Each path consists of 4–12 steps. Per step: three to seven minutes of reading, an example from daily life, an optional reflection question. · Sentences that stay with you can be kept in your herbarium. WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT Anavara is a journey of personal development — with real sources instead of coach-clichés. You can expect: · To have really understood an idea from Buddhism — instead of just knowing the term. · A different way of looking at anger, loss, questions of identity. · Sentences that stay with you — and come back as re-encounters weeks later. · A small, quiet practice in the evening, at your own pace. REGIONS The paths are located across 12 regions — India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, Tibet & Himalaya, China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, Persia, and the modern West. WHAT ANAVARA IS NOT · No wellness coach. Hard things are allowed to stay hard. · No AI companion. Buddhism is slowing down, not instant answers. · No ads, no data selling, no gamification. · No esoteric flourish. PREMIUM Three paths are free. Premium opens all paths, the insight cards, and the re-encounter mechanic. Prices are shown when you tap Premium directly in the App Store sheet. — "If you are in a hurry, go slowly." Personal data stays on your device and in your iCloud account. Sources are transparently linked. SUBSCRIPTION TERMS Anavara is free with 3 paths.
