Sutta 423
One verse. Every day.
Daily verses from the Dhammapada, the Buddha's teachings on mindfulness and meditation distilled into 423 passages. Designed as a lightweight practice requiring only minutes of engagement.
Free for iPhone (iOS 17+)
A practice, not an app.
Daily Practice
One verse appears each morning. Read, reflect, and return tomorrow. Complete the entire Dhammapada in 423 days.
The Echo
After a week, verses begin to return. Repetition deepens understanding. Teachings resurface on days 8, 15, and beyond.
No Pressure
No streaks. No guilt. Come back when you're ready. Missing days doesn't trigger shame—your progress remains saved.
Minutes, Not Hours
This isn't an app that wants more of your time. A few minutes is enough. Lightweight practice that fits any schedule.
"Mind precedes all mental states.
Mind is their chief; they are all mind-wrought.
If with a pure mind a person speaks or acts,
happiness follows him like his never-departing shadow."
— Dhammapada, Verse 2
Why one verse?
Most meditation apps want more of your attention. More sessions, longer streaks, premium features to unlock. They measure success by engagement.
Sutta 423 measures success by what stays with you after you close the app. One verse, deeply absorbed, is worth more than a hundred quickly skimmed.
The Dhammapada was meant to be chewed slowly, not consumed in bulk.
Start your 423-day journey.
Free to download. A few minutes each morning. No subscription, no pressure.
