Supporting the publication of Dhamma
We aim to make the teachings of our sangha freely available via publications. If you would like to offer to transcribe, edit or proofread material, or wish to help with typesetting and design, etc., please contact Amaravati Publications at publications{at}amaravati.org
If you have an interest in translating any of our English-language publications into other languages, we naturally welcome that. However, all translations have to be checked by native-speaking monks, nuns or other practitioners to ensure accuracy. In order to avoid unnecessary work and disappointment, we recommend that if you wish to translate a text, you contact Amaravati Publications at the address given above before undertaking any work, and as your work proceeds, you send an initial sample (say ten pages) of your proposed translation before proceeding further. Valuable feedback can then be passed on.
If you wish to contribute towards the publication of books through the Amaravati Publications network, please use the online donations facility. Any donations can then be used towards sponsoring the reprint of popular Amaravati Publications titles, or towards covering the costs of newly composed material. This will support Amaravati Publications in producing an ongoing supply of books and booklets to encourage the practice of Dhamma.
