Chuang Yen Monastery Offers the Community a New Online Buddhist eLibrary

Patrons can borrow many Buddhist and Mind-Body-Spiritual ebooks and audiobooks from anywhere and at any time from PCs, mobile phones, or tablets free of charge. 

To support and enhance the community’s overall health and well-being in these challenging times, the Buddhist Association of the United States (BAUS) Woo Ju Memorial Library (WJML) is pleased to offer a new Online Buddhist Library to the community! While the library building remains closed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, this online e-library is a platform to allow patrons to borrow ebooks and audiobooks to continue to deepen their exploration of Buddhist ideas and practices.
Through this Online Buddhist Library, one can access, anytime and anywhere, Buddhist, spiritual, and body and mind literature by prominent Buddhist and other authors and teachers, such as Thich Nhat Hanh, Pema Chodron, Shunryu Suzuki, Roland Merullo, and many others.
