Our Members' Library

Thanks to our librarian for compiling this list of audio- and videotapes and thanks to our generous sangha members for sharing, we now have a Members' Library! These talks are listed by teacher, then chronologically. For more information on any item or on borrowing, please contact us and your request will be forwarded to our librarian.

Additionally, there are a number of Nitartha texts available to our members. Please scroll to the bottom of this section for a complete list.

Remember, one of the benefits of membership is access to these materials.
