Every text is prepared in consultation with Geshe-las. Translations are verified. Tibetan script is preserved. Glossaries and commentaries come from the tradition — no internet scraping, no generic AI summaries.
Chitta is a study companion, not a substitute for a teacher. For questions of practice, realization, or personal guidance, we encourage you to consult a qualified teacher. We support the tradition. We don't replace it.
Built by Buddhist students and practitioners who wanted a serious study tool rooted in the tradition, not a watered-down mindfulness app.
