About these Buddhism tools
These Buddhist tools help with three everyday tasks: knowing when a holy day or moon day falls, finding where a theme appears in the suttas and sutras, and locating a temple or meditation center nearby. Each one runs in your browser with no account.
The calendar covers 2026 with full and new moon days and the main holy days. The teachings search combines passages from SuttaCentral with entries written by an AI model and lets you filter by tradition. The temple finder uses OpenStreetMap to show centers on a list and a map.
The tools are guides, not teachers. Holy day dates differ between countries and traditions, AI-written entries can be wrong and should be checked, and map listings can be incomplete. Traditions differ, so ask a teacher from your own tradition about practice.
Buddhist traditions such as Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana keep some days on different dates and use different texts. The tools show widely shared information and say when a date or teaching depends on tradition. A teacher from your own tradition is the best guide for how to practise.
Good to know
- Confirm holy day dates with your own temple, since countries keep different days.
- Check any teaching you plan to quote against a published translation.
- Call a center before visiting to ask about times and visitor guidelines.
Common questions
Which tradition do these tools follow?
None in particular. The calendar and search cover Theravada, Mahayana, Zen and Vajrayana where information is available. Ask a teacher from your own tradition about practice.
Are the holy day dates the same everywhere?
No. Countries and traditions count lunar months in different ways, so days such as Vesak can vary. Confirm with your own temple.
Can I rely on the teachings search?
Use it to find leads. Some results come from SuttaCentral, and others are written by an AI model and may be wrong. Verify before you quote.
Do I need an account?
No. Every tool works without signing up. Stars and trackers are kept only in your browser.
