Building a World-Class Research Library

In order to fulfill Maitripa's mission of offering a world-class enlightened education for the 21st century, a world-class library is essential. The building of that library has just begun, and is off to a fine start as we now own all books published by Wisdom Publications and Snow Lion Publications, thanks to generous arrangements with these two important Buddhist publishers. Add this to the contributions of two Fill-A-Shelf Patrons and Maitripa's library has already acquired nearly one thousand books.

We estimate that Maitripa’s Buddhist studies library will ultimately house 20,000 volumes, with collections in Tibetan texts, works in Sanskrit, translations of Tibetan, Sanskrit and Chinese works, and scholarly works in English. Based on acquisition lists developed in consultation with internationally respected professors of Buddhist studies, we are now actively building our collections. Our aim is to create a lending and research facility that will meet the highest standards of electronic, archival, and print resources for the use of our students, faculty and local community for many years to come.

Donations to our library will underpin Maitripa’s future as a premiere center for Buddhist learning in North America. The time has come to integrate Buddhism’s contributions to world culture into modern life. We ask your support in making that happen.
