About the Icon

The app's icon is the quail from SN 47:6, the Sakuṇagghi Sutta ("The Hawk"), hiding behind clumps of earth in its ancestral territory—a newly plowed field with the soil turned up:

"Wander, monks, in what is your proper range, your own ancestral territory. In one who wanders in what is his proper range, his own ancestral territory, Māra gains no opening, Māra gains no foothold. And what, for a monk, is his proper range, his own ancestral territory? The four establishings of mindfulness."
