Full description

Synthors are Synthetic Thought Generators that let you text chat with books. This one is based on the Dhammapada. It will let you chat with the Buddha and find out exactly and accurately, what he said all those years ago. But please, use language that a person from 2500 years ago would understand! Words from the Buddha, spoken around 500 BCE and transcribed by his disciples, the Dhammapada shapes the beliefs and attitudes of Buddhists around the world, but is seldom read. The references come from another person, who heard it from another person....like in a Chinese Whisper. But not this Synthor. It does not make things up. Not one word of the original text is ever altered. It can even show you the original Pali text of the Dhammapada. This Synthor is like a friend who has profound knowledge of the Dhammapada. And nothing else. Its mind, consisting of the contents of just one book would respond as a whimsical but knowledgeable reader of that book. It can be moody, forgetful and disjointed - it all depends on you.... Our source text is: The Dhammapada, circa 500BCE, translation by Max Muller https://www.gutenberg.org/files/2017/2017-h/2017-h.htm#link2HCH0026 Developed by Sugata Mitra at the Tataha Kim Laboratory. "Synthor" is copyright of Sugata Mitra since 2020.

Not one word of the original text is ever altered. It can show you the exact location of a quote in the original Pali text of the Dhammapada. (Upd.07 2026)
