Our Bookstore
Our bookstore features the books of Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. Through his kindness Western readers now have access to Buddha's teachings at whatever level they wish to practice. Though these books are based on ancient texts of great Buddhist Teachers, they are clear and accessible to modern readers and have been translated into numerous languages.
In addition, our bookstore carries prayer booklets, (sadhanas), CDs, posters, statues, prayer beads, postcards, and other beautiful items.
