They are based in New York.〔()〕 These include basic Buddhist meditation books such as ''The New Meditation Handbook'', books on the Buddhist way of life such as ''Universal Compassion'', books on Buddhist philosophy and psychology such as ''Heart of Wisdom'', and books on Buddhist Tantra. Tharpa Publications is a non-profit corporation that has operated for 25 years and claims to have sold over a million books.〔(London book fair 2009 )〕 Waterhouse adds that the books "are distributed widely and may be seen on the shelves of popular booksellers as well as in university libraries."〔Waterhouse, Helen (1997).

(詳細はBuddha Shakyamuni's Sutra and Tantra teachings. These are in the process of being translated into German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, Dutch and Croatian. According to its website, "Tharpa publishes the works of Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, a contemporary Buddhist master who presents the essential practices of Buddhism in a way that is easy to understand and practise in modern everyday life."〔(Tharpa Publications UK )〕 Biography Research Guide describes Kelsang Gyatso's books:
A number of Kelsang Gyatso's textbooks have received favourable reviews.〔(''How to Solve Our Human Problems: The Four Noble Truths'' ), reviewed by ''Publisher's Weekly'', retrieved 2009-08-27.〕 Bluck writes that "The three most popular works—''Introduction to Buddhism'', ''The New Meditation Handbook'' and ''Transform Your Life''—have sold 165,000 copies between them, showing their appeal far beyond the movement itself."〔Bluck, Robert (2006). ''British Buddhism: Teachings, Practice and Development''. Routledge critical studies in Buddhism. London: Routledge. p. 138.〕 Batchelor says that Kelsang Gyatso's books are written with "considerable clarity."〔Batchelor, Stephen (1994). ''The Awakening of the West: The Encounter of Buddhism and Western Culture''. Berkeley, Calif: Parallax Press. p. 203.〕 Braizer echoes this sentiment, saying that Kelsang writes "excellent" books that are "an important contribution to Western understanding of Buddhism and its traditions. They can stand on their own merit."〔Brazier, David (2002). ''The New Buddhism''. New York: Palgrave. p. 77.〕 ''Guide to Dakini Land'' and ''Essence of Vajrayana'' have been described as "the most detailed and revealing commentary on specific tantric practices yet to be published in a Western language."〔Cozort, D.. quoted in Heine, S., & Prebish, C. S. (2003). ''Buddhism in the modern world: Adaptations of an ancient tradition''. New York: Oxford University Press. p. 235.〕 In his book review of ''Guide to Dakini Land'', Richard Guard said:
The books are also highly thought of within the Tibetan establishment. Three of his published works contained forewords by previous Ganden Tripas and the Dalai Lama. The Dalai Lama contributed a foreword to ''Buddhism in the Tibetan Tradition'', while Trijang Rinpoche and Ling Rinpoche (who each held the position of Ganden Tripa) also provided forewords for his books ''Meaningful to Behold'' (which was dedicated to the long life of the Dalai Lama) and ''Clear Light of Bliss'' (which was dedicated to the late Trijang Rinpoche), respectively. Kyabje Ling Rinpoche refers to Kelsang Gyatso as "this most precious Spiritual Guide," while Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche refers to him as "The excellent expounder, the great Spiritual Master Kelsang Gyatso." Tsem Tulku praised Kelsang Gyatso and his publications: "The great master, the Kadampa Geshe, Kelsang Gyatso, you can see very clearly his works, his centers, his books, his pure vows, and how many thousands of people he affects."〔(''Karma & its Relation to Vows'' ) (Part 2 of 2, 10:54-11:09), 2006-01-16, retrieved 2010-08-16.〕
