"Dhyāna" contains a collection of wisdom, sayings and inspirations from spiritual leaders of Tibetan Buddhism and Zen for every day of the year: XIV. Dalai Lama, Shantideva, Nagarjuna, Shabkar, Sogyal Rinpoche, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, Kalu Rinpoche, Pema Chödrön, Matthieu Ricard, Chakdud Tulku Rinpoche, Dogen, Shigetsu Sokei-an, Suzuki Roshi, Taisen Deshimaru-Roshi and even more.

Dhyāna describes the elevated level of concentration where the mind is singularly focused on a specific object of attention. Dhyāna is said to be a meditative state of profound stillness and concentration, one that does not involve day-to-day worries. With Buddhism, the term eventually reached China as Chan and Japan as Zen.

The App shows inspirations in front of pictures of the buddhist world around the globe. You can select todays wisdom, let yourself be inspired randomly or select from a list of personal favourites. A complete reference is available on the support webpage.
