# Learn

> Short articles about the figures, the sections and the course of the ceremony — inside the app, not on the web.

Feature 6 of 6

Learn is the part of the app that explains rather than translates: 35 short articles about what the book takes for granted.

_“Kinds of text in the prayer book” with its category, reading time, number of sections and a contents list that folds open._

Who the figures in the prayers are. What a section does and why it stands where it does. How the ceremony runs, and which kinds of text it contains — a sūtra, an invocation, a mantra and a repentance formula are not the same thing and are not read the same way.

## Tied to what you are reading

The articles do not stand apart: a term in the lookup sheet leads to the article that explains it, and an article points back at the sections of the book it is about. There is a search too, for when all you have is one word.

## Written against sources, not asserted

Canonical statements — sūtra titles, the names of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, claims about what a text says — are checked against authoritative sources before an article appears. That check is not printed under the article: the app keeps no source list. How it is done is here on the website, on [Sources and verification](https://kinhmo.com/en/sources/).
