Terms of use

Last updated November 14, 2026

Using the app

The app is for learning about Buddhist teaching and practicing it. Use it for yourself. You can’t copy, resell or republish what’s in it without asking first.

Not medical advice

The meditations and the Pause screens are practice, and they don’t replace a doctor, therapist or emergency help. If you’re in danger or thinking about hurting yourself, call your local emergency number.

The texts

The Dhammapada in English is Bhikkhu Sujato’s translation, and in every other language the app’s own, made from the Pali. The stories are retold from the Pali Canon and its commentaries. Where a story comes from a later telling, the app says so.

Your account

You can use the app without an account. If you sign in with Apple, Google or an email address, keep that account safe, because anyone with it can see your progress. You can delete your account at any time from Settings.

Changes

If these terms change, the date at the top changes too, and a big change will show in the app before it applies.

Questions go to support@padipa.app, or through Send feedback in Settings.
