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 email me: sabbamittaa@gmail.com.
You can make a donation via my PayPal account, account name: sabbamittaa@gmail.com.
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!
