A companion for
the questions that stay.

Begin where life gets difficult.

A conversation leaves you hurt. You know you’re overthinking, but knowing doesn’t stop the loop. A familiar worry returns, even after you’ve explained it to yourself.

Cyber Sakyamuni begins with moments like these. The planned app offers a structured way to explore a question through Buddhist ideas, examine the explanation, and consider what might help in the situation you actually face.

Its name refers to Shakyamuni, the historical Buddha. The project draws inspiration from Buddhist inquiry while remaining an independent software project, with no institutional or lineage affiliation claimed.

Seven perspectives. One real question.

The approach is inspired by listening, thinking, practicing, and observing the mind. A reflection is designed to consider several perspectives before settling on a response.

1. SourceFind a relevant text or teaching and understand its context.
2. InterpretConnect the idea to the question at hand.
3. ChallengeAsk what the explanation misses, oversimplifies, or gets wrong.
4. Consider the personAttend to the individual’s circumstances, needs, and capacity.
5. Look inwardNotice self-protection, attachment, and the desire to seem certain.
6. ActConsider one practical, compassionate next step.
7. PauseLeave a question open when a confident answer would be premature.

A final review is intended to check whether a response addresses objections, stays close to the person’s experience, and acknowledges uncertainty. This is a software design approach inspired by Buddhist thought, rather than a formal traditional practice.

Keep the companion’s limits visible.

AI is intended to help with finding sources, comparing interpretations, and structuring reflection. It can produce convincing errors, miss context, or misunderstand a person’s circumstances.

The app is not a religious authority, a therapist, or a substitute for a qualified teacher or healthcare professional. It does not claim enlightenment, consciousness, or the ability to verify spiritual attainment.

We want the distinction between a source and an AI interpretation to remain visible. Buddhist traditions may also disagree; the aim is to make those differences understandable, rather than present one generated response as universal doctrine.

Independently built.
