The Dhagpo Kagyu library has acquired a newly published collection of the complete works of all the Karmapas. Compiled by khenpo Loyak Tashi, this collection is made up of 108 volumes in the traditional Tibetan format and also of an index. We already had the works of the 3rd, 7th, 8th, 10th and 15th Karmapas but we didn’t have the others. They are now all available!

The second book Boundless Awakening: The Heart of Buddhist Meditation presents a direct, deep and yet simple access to Buddhist meditation. This practical guide is easy to understand and will be useful to anyone, Buddhist or not, who is interested in discovering or deepening this path.

 

Over the last six months, several hundred books, mainly in English but also in French or Russian, have been given to the library.
