Bookstore/Gift Shop

KMC Long Island and its Port Jefferson branch location each has its own quaint bookstore, excellent resources for books on Buddhism, ritual items, and accessories. These bookstores carry the written works of modern Buddhist meditation master, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, an accomplished author of 23 highly acclaimed books that perfectly transmit the ancient wisdom of Buddha. Geshe Kelsang is the founder of our center and more than 1,300 Kadampa Buddhist centers and groups around the world.

Tharpa Publications LogoTharpa Publications distributes Geshe Kelsang’s books which are written with great clarity and offer a practical approach that meets the needs of modern people. They are available in many languages and range from introductory works to detailed commentaries on the most profound aspects of Buddhism. His books form the basis of our highly popular study programs in modern Buddhism and meditation here at KMC-LI and at centers around the world. Tharpa also supplies audio CDs, Buddhist art, and sadhanas for prayer and meditation.

Our bookstores and gift shops, which are open during class hours, carry a wide selection of Buddha statues, shrine items such as offering bowls, and ritual items such as malas (prayer beads), mandala kits, vajras and bells. We also carry accessories from jewelry and hand-made book covers to incense and journals which complement Buddhist practice and make excellent gifts.
