Buddha & Buddhism Quotes 500!

This app provides you with as few or as many reflections as you would like. The backgrounds are beautiful. If you want to send them to your daughter or whomever you can take a screen capture by simultaneously clicking the power and home button on your phone. Then the picture will be in your photos. If the ads bother you you can buy the paid version. Highly recommend.

While I love this app for its positive qualities, as a scholar of the Buddhist cannon (the nikayas) it is hard to ignore the fact that many of these quotes are not actually a part of the Buddhist religion, and have no actual root in the cannon of Buddhist scripture. I cannot say where they come from, but I can only comment that amongst the Theravada Buddhist monastic community we have had a good laugh or two at the inaccuracy of some of these 'quotes' that actually cannot be found to be words spoken by the Buddha. But I hope that others can enjoy and find some inspiration here. With Metta...

This is an excellent App and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in finding new ways to cope with the stresses of life and in the achievement of spiritual enlightenment through discipline of the mind. Thoughts, words and actions follow the mind, which is why this App can be so valuable in terms of everyday use. It also provides a window into the heart, mind and soul of The Buddha, himself.

I have really been in tune with this app. I seek it out when I am feeling down. Opening it up to receive the insight of each meaningful quote really helps lift my spirits. It feeds my head knowledge while melting my heart with peace and wisdom. Stumbling upon such a beneficial app reminds me that I am truly blessed. Thank you for creating it.

What would move this app from good to GREAT is putting more space between the ad buttons on the bottom and the arrows that move you forward or back. I don't have fat fingers but still find an annoying ad or app opening up when I've gotten to close to the bottom of the page. I'd rather be reading the wisdom of the Buddha than having to navigate out of an ad multiple times.
