‘Pariyesana Potthakalaya / Research Library’

It was Rev. Guruji’s earnest wish to promote research, and to establish a well equipped library for the same purpose. We are so happy to share the news that his wish has come true with the inauguration of such a library by Rev. Mataji on 19th Jan, 2014 at Global Vipassana Pagoda. It is managed by Vipassana Research Institute.
Currently the library holds around 10,000 books that include Encyclopedias, Dictionaries, Journals, Books on Vipassana, V.R.I. publications, Books on other religions and philosophies etc. This library has a capacity of 40,000 books and also has a special ‘Research Room/Gavesanalaya’ that is accessible to research students. The rest of the area of the library is accessible to meditators and college students who can make use of the facilities during the below timings:
12:00 noon to 4:00 pm - Monday to Friday (Wednesday Closed)
12:00 noon to 5:00 pm - Saturday & Sunday
