Frequently asked

What is this site?

Aixue Canon indexes selected scriptures from the Taishō Tripiṭaka. Every doctrinal answer cites the original passage so you can verify it line by line.

How reliable are the AI answers?

AI interpretation can err. Our principle is layered honesty: quotations carry verifiable source refs, AI-generated content is clearly labeled, and the original text is always the final authority.

What does the corpus cover?

Over a hundred selected works from the Taishō canon, covering the Āgamas, Prajñāpāramitā, Yogācāra, Tathāgatagarbha and Chan records. Retrieval scope ≠ the whole canon; tell us what you miss.

How is the order of "Start Here" decided?

The order of the four stations (seeing your situation → knowing the mind → walking the path → direction and destination) is this site's own framing for beginners, not a doctrinal sequence taken from any single sutra. The sixteen concepts inside them are computed: every one of the six thousand-plus annotated concepts records which concepts must be understood first, and we rank each by how many others list it as a prerequisite, then take the highest-ranked beginner-level ones by type (5 view, 3 mental factors, 4 practice, 2 framework + 2 attainment). It is ordered by what serves as a foundation for understanding, not by popularity, and the path shifts on its own as the annotations improve.

The "stage" axis on concept pages is a separate dimension, based on the fourfold two-truths progression of Madhyamaka (substantial existence → dependent arising → emptiness → beyond words). It is not the three-turnings schema of the Saṃdhinirmocana Sūtra, and it does not determine the order here. Both are initial AI estimates that evolve with use — if a step looks misplaced, tell us which one.

Why do some concept notes take a minute to load?

Beginner/advanced tiers are generated on first visit and cached afterwards. The wait is the writing.

How do I ask better questions?

Be specific and give context. Naming a sutra triggers targeted retrieval; follow-ups carry conversation context, so go deep.
