	Tibetan Civilization by R.A. Stein Drawing as far as possible on Chinese and Tibetan resources as well as Western scholarship, Stein gives us and overall view of the civilization and relates developments in Tibet to those in the rest of Asia. The account is rich in detail and covers both ancient and modern Tibet.
	Secret of the Vajra World by Reginald A. Ray Using nontechnical language, engaging stories and personal anecdotes, Reginald Ray demonstrates how the practice of Tantra opens up an appreciation for ordinary life - the world of sensory experience, of pleasure and pain - as the place where ultimate revelation occurs.
	Religions of Tibet in Practice by Donald S. Lopez Jr. Presents a stunning array of works that together offer an unparalleled view of the realities of those who have inhabited the Tibetan cultural domain over the centuries. The volume provides a wealth of voices that together lead to a new and more nuanced understanding of the religions of Tibet.
	Indestructible Truth by Reginald A. Ray One of the most thorough and accessible introductions to the Tibetan Buddhist worldview ever written. Indestructible Truth leads the reader into the vast and colorful world of Tibetan Buddhism, including its history, philosophy and meditation practices, presented as elements of a practical, living spirituality.
	Among Tibetan Texts: History and Literature of the Himalayan Plateau by Gene Smith Prefaces to Tibetan Texts by Gene Smith. These essays span a vast range of Tibetan literature, covering Buddhist texts from all lineages, histories, biographies and literary arts. They provide historical context for the origins of the various traditions, with helpful lineage charts and overviews of the literature and the great figures that shaped those traditions.

Please note the following changes in our mail order business: In an effort to simplify we will only be offering a selected number of mail order items we'll sell directly through our bookstore. All of our other inventory will still be available at the Dakini Store on the Tara Mandala land during retreats but not via mail order.

Apart from the selected items we'll sell directly, we have a list of books that we recommend with a direct link to Amazon.com for their purchase. We appreciate you using this link as doing so will allow us to share in the profits. It's a convenient way of making a donation to Tara Mandala and we sincerely thank you!

If you would like to place an order or you have questions, please contact us at bookstore@taramandala.org or 970-264-6098.
