Modern Buddhism presents Buddhist practice in the Kadampa tradition, a Mahayana lineage, and gives away its entire contents — the app states plainly that there are no subscriptions, purchases or advertising of any kind.
Its centre is the complete text of Modern Buddhism by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, offered as a free ebook, alongside further titles from the same author. These are full books rather than extracts, which is unusual for an app in this category.
Guided meditations accompany the reading, structured for beginners as well as established practitioners, and cover the standard Kadampa sequence — breathing meditation, the stages of the path, compassion and wisdom practices.
Podcasts and recorded talks sit alongside them for listening rather than reading.
Being lineage-specific is worth knowing before installing. The material follows Kadampa teaching and terminology throughout; someone looking for Theravada or Zen practice is better served elsewhere.
Free on Android and iOS.
The app is published within the Kadampa Buddhist tradition, offering the books of Geshe Kelsang Gyatso and guided meditations free of charge.
