Amaravati Publications has published many books which have been sponsored for free distribution. Books currently available are listed below.
To obtain them please read the following information carefully. Please note that much of this material is also available to view or download in the e-Articles section.

Requests for books to be sent within the UK

Books can be obtained by post - please send a stamped, self-addressed envelope to “Books”, c/o Amaravati Buddhist Monastery, St. Margarets Lane, Great Gaddesden, Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, HP1 3BZ, England.

The weight and minimum size of envelope for each book is given as a guide for your requests. You may send one envelope with extra stamps for requests of more than one book.

Requests for books to be sent overseas
An easy way to cover international postage charges is by sending us International Response Coupons, which are supplied at most post offices around the world.

Air Mail Book Post Worldwide
The minimum is 3 coupons which covers up to 100g. Above 100g each coupon covers a further 60g.

As bank charges for handling foreign currency cheques are high it is worth bearing in mind that cheques worth less than £10 sterling often cost more to process than their value.  The best way to make a non-sterling donation is to use the credit card facility in the Donation section of this website.
If you are sending money from abroad, it is best to arrange to cover all charges in your own country; ask at your bank how this is done. Any cheques or money orders should be made payable to The English Sangha Trust.

Supporting the Publication of Dhamma
Any contributions given will help us to make the teachings freely available.

Anyone attached to the senses is like a drunk whose liver is not yet distroyed. He does't know when he has had enough. He continues to indulge in drink carelessly. He's caught and later suffers illness and pain- Ajahn Chah
