The City Center Bookstore offers a unique collection of books, cards and merchandise, all intended to support the study and practice of Buddhism in its many forms and traditions.
We are located at 300 Page Street, at the corner of Laguna. See directions here.
Housed within the main building, but with a separate entrance which is directly accessible via the front access ramp, the Bookstore is staffed by practitioners whose personal experience is a wealth of information.
