Store description excerpt
Zurkhai is the traditional Buryat-Mongolian Buddhist almanac and calendar — a daily companion based on the lunar calendar studied in datsans for centuries. Calculated by the classical Pugpa school of Tibetan astronomy. This is a cultural-educational app for the Buryat, Mongolian, Tuvan, Kalmyk, and broader Russian-speaking Tibetan Buddhist communities. It is not Western horoscope or fortune-telling — it follows specific Pugpa-school calculation methods documented in printed Buryat almanacs. WHAT'S INSIDE: • TODAY — Lunar day, animal sign, element, haircut guidance from tradition, what activities the almanac recommends or counter-recommends, next Buddhist holiday. • COMPATIBILITY — Classical 4-parameter analysis: 5 Mahabhuta (elements), 12 Zhil (animals), 8 Parkha (Bagua directions), 9 Menge (Lo Shu karmic marks). • BIRTH CHART — Personal year animal, element, Menge mark, and Suudal direction calculated from your birth year. • MEDITATION — Shamatha timer, nine-round purification breathing, seven-point Vairocana posture guide. • EDUCATIONAL COURSE — 12-lesson "Introduction to Buddhism" course with quizzes, 20-term glossary of Tibetan-Buddhist concepts, biographies of 17 teachers from the Buddha to Dalai Lama XIV. • PLACES — Maps and details for 40 datsans (Buddhist monasteries) across Russia, Mongolia, Tibet, India, Nepal, USA, and Europe. Tradition: Pugpa school of Tibetan-Mongolian Buddhism. Calculations verified against printed Buryat almanacs (Yampilov-Galsanov "Zurkhai-3", Atsagatsky Datsan publications). Disclaimer: For important decisions (marriage, child's birth, relocation) please consult a qualified lama-zurkhaichin at a datsan. 100% on-device. No tracking, no ads, no subscriptions. Single optional one-time purchase for an extended cultural reading.
