Aryaloka's Buddhist Library

Here at Aryaloka we are proud to have one of the most extensive Buddhist libraries in the area.

Our books are arranged according to Buddhist topics such as meditation, women in Buddhism, children and families, Zen, and inspirational topics. We also have books by contemporary authors and a full set of the Jataka Tales (stories of the Buddha before his Enlightenment). In addition, there is an excellent collection of canonical literature and commentaries from Theravadin, Tibetan, Chinese, Japanese, Sanskrit and Indian sources. We have an almost complete collection of books written by our founder and teacher, Sangharakshita, as well as other members of the Wester Buddhist Order. We also subscribe to three Buddhist magazines - Shambala Sun, Buddhadharma, and Tricycle.

We invite you to visit the library when you come to our center. In addition to books, you will find a lovely shrine and comfortable places to sit and read. Please feel free to come and browse. As we read and reflect, we understand the Dharma more fully and can practice more effectively.
