Wed, 8 Mar, 2023 - 13:00

Today is International Women’s Day. Marked annually since 1911, it’s a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity.

This year’s theme is ‘Embrace Equity.’ Equity is not the same as equality. Both are important, but they are very different.

In this blog post, we’re focusing on the books of scholar-monk Bhikkhu Anālayo. Windhorse Publications published his first book on Satipaṭṭhāna nearly twenty years ago.

Windhorse Publications' review of the year

Wed, 21 Dec, 2022 - 16:03

As 2022 draws to a close, we’re looking back at the past year. And what a year it’s been!

Behind the scenes in 2022

So it’s been a balancing act for Dhammamegha as Publishing Director, as we ride the waves of high printing costs and disrupted freight, to make sure that we have all the Dharma books we need in the Triratna community, and that Windhorse Publications is continuing to grow and make...
