VBC Bookstore

Vajrarupini Center's Bookstore and Gift Shop

 

 

 

Our Bookstore carries Dharma texts written by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, and stocks beautiful Buddha statues, artwork, ritual items, prayer booklets and CDs to support and enhance meditation practice and study. You'll find friendly staff on hand to answer any questions you might have on Buddhism, practice, meditation and study.

To date Geshe Kelsang has written twenty books on Buddhism. Their purpose is to reveal the teachings and practices of Kadampa Buddhism to the modern day reader in a clear and accessible way.

This remarkable series of authoritative books represents the most complete and integrated presentation of the Buddhist path to enlightenment available in any western language. Originally written in English they are currently being translated into many of the world’s major languages.

Ranging from highly accessible books for beginners to detailed and lucid expositions of the profundities of Buddhist philosophy and Tantric practice, each book is a practical manual for meditation and a guide on how to follow the Buddhist way of life.

Geshe Kelsang has also translated all the meditation practices or sadhanas of Kadampa Buddhism from their original Tibetan and encourages the chanting of these prayers in English and other languages.

You can purchase books at our bookstore or online through Tharpa Publications (www.tharpa.com/us/).
