About this skill

Problem It Solves

Many sutra rewrites drift into two failure modes: line-by-line translation with decorative metaphors, or confident AI reinterpretation that loses doctrinal grounding. This skill turns that problem into a reproducible workflow: it first records sutra meaning, master commentary, and the interlocutor's current state in references/内化/, then generates language from that internalized understanding instead of stitching together source text or prompt tricks.

How It Works

Three scenarios: Scenario A produces a full modern retelling of one sutra; Scenario B explains a term; Scenario C answers a personal reflection question.
Internalization loop: read the source sutra, read master commentaries, update notes, speak from the internalized model, then check against the original and revise the understanding.
Style routing: it selects daily warmth, scientific framing, quantum-analogy, poetic mindfulness, and other modes, while defaulting to daily and general analogy domains to avoid unnecessary CS/AI jargon.
Closing constraint: each response must end with a concrete action and validation note, and low-confidence answers explicitly say they are uncertain.

Fit and Limits

This is closer to a reflective dialogue interface than a sutra search engine or crisis-support tool. Full sutra retellings require coverage checks; entry-level retellings must state omitted sections. It suits engineers and researchers who want modern-language understanding of Buddhist texts and accept a “understand first, express second, validate third” process.

Use Cases

Rewrite the Heart Sutra from line-by-line translation into a modern public version while keeping key verses.
Explain terms like emptiness or dependent origination using internalized notes and a brief everyday metaphor.
In reflective dialogue, identify surface emotion, trigger, and false premise before giving a short response.
Choose an entry-level retelling for a long sutra, state omitted chapters, and summarize core coverage.

Best For

Buddhist content writers who need publishable modern sutra scripts with key verses preserved.
Reflective-dialogue facilitators who need to respond to personal concerns after identifying deeper premises.
Editors for dharma content products who need term explanations limited to 500 characters and source checks.
Agent workflow researchers who need role discipline, internalization notes, and validation checks to constrain output.
