The Buddhist Publication Society (BPS) is a publishing house with charitable status, whose objective is to disseminate the teachings of Gautama Buddha.
Its titles have been translated into many languages, including German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Czech, Hindi, and Chinese.
The BPS's English-language publications fall into three classes: two series of booklets called The Wheel and Bodhi Leaves, and full-size books.
The BPS's line of full-size books includes both basic introductions and advanced texts on Buddhist doctrine and practice.
In the late 1990s, the BPS entered into co-publication agreements with Wisdom Publications in Boston to make its works more readily available to readers in the Americas and Europe.
The BPS also co-publishes works on Theravada Buddhism first issued by Western publishers to make them more easily available for Asian readers.
Through this project, 50–150 copies of each new book published by the society are sent free of charge to libraries, monasteries, and Buddhist centers around the world.
