Free Dharma Books

These books are a perfect place to take the next step — or your first step — on the path to inner peace.

Because Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso wishes so much for everyone to have access to these books, he has requested Tharpa Publications to give them away freely. There’s no commitment and nothing to sign up for. They are a gift from his heart to yours.

Modern Buddhism is perfectly suited for inspiring those seeking solutions within Buddhism to problems of everyday life, as well as for encouraging practitioners of all faiths to deepen their understanding and practice of the spiritual path.

How to Transform Your Life explains clearly how to develop and maintain inner peace, solve our daily problems, and bring about positive changes in our lives so that we can enjoy deep and lasting happiness. It is a practical guide for daily life that works.

Visit Tharpa Publications for many more Dharma books, audio books, artwork and gifts!
