It’s now over 30 years that I have been a Buddhist practitioner, and in this time I have accumulated quite a number of books on various aspects of Buddhism in German, English and French. Now it is time for me to reduce the amount of stuff and embrace a more simple life with as little possessions as possible.
Therefore I have to make a choice as to which books of my collection I want to keep, and which ones I should let go of… a good exercise in the art of letting go! The emphasis for me is now on the EBTs, so what you find here is probably everything else.
I am posting here a list of books I’d like to find new owners for who hopefully will benefit from them.
I’m offering the books on a donation basis, and all funds that exceed the postage costs will be dedicated to support Kalyanamitra Foundation for social engagement and Western Monastics, initiated by Ayya Yeshe:
Here you can find the postage costs for sending parcels from Germany: https://www.deutschepost.de/content/dam/dpag/images/G_g/Gesamtpreisliste/dp_leistungen-und-preise-092017.pdf
In some cases I might need to buy some package material in addition to the postage costs.
In order to let me know which book you would like, please contact me.
Any amount however small will help to make a difference for people in the slum of Nagpur / India as well as for Western monastics in Tibetan Buddhism.
Thank you for helping me getting rid of stuff and, please, enjoy the books!
