A learning path, not a lecture warehouse
A large lecture collection can leave beginners lost. A graded path shows what to learn first, what comes next, and when the foundation is sufficient to continue.
App
The Inti Dharma app – learn, read, chant and recite
The Inti Dharma app is Inti Foundation's free Buddhist learning app, in Vietnamese and English, used on a phone or straight in the browser, and it gathers in one place what a Buddhist learner needs each day: a short lesson of about ten minutes with review questions; a bilingual library of nearly 30,000 texts so you read the sūtra itself rather than only hear it explained; a chanting mode with auto-scrolling text and a wooden-fish beat; a Buddha recitation tool with a guiding voice and a counter; and one Dhammapada verse a day. The library, chanting, recitation and the guides are free and need no account; create an account to save your progress. The six-level Initiation path, starting with the 88-lesson Foundation course, is for those who have registered as disciples and been approved by Inti Foundation.
Available on the App Store and Google Play, or straight in the browser at dharma.inti.foundation.

An accompanying scripture library, not a separate resource
Each lesson can link directly to a related scripture. This is the biggest distinction: you can verify rather than simply trust the teacher.
Use it like an app on your phone
Open dharma.inti.foundation on your phone and choose Add to Home Screen: the Inti Dharma icon sits next to your other apps and opens full screen. Downloading it from an app store is optional. While you chant, the screen stays on so the scrolling text is not interrupted.
