About Amber Lotus

Amber Lotus Publishing was founded in 1988 by students of a Tibetan Lama living in exile in Berkeley California. The original purpose was to raise funds to help preserve Tibetan culture and religion. A major portion of Amber Lotus funds were used to collect, preserve, re-print and distribute for free, Tibetan Buddhist sacred texts that were in danger of being lost. Amber Lotus was started because someone thought something should be done. Although we no longer focus our efforts exclusively on Tibetan relief projects, we still feel something should be done.

Today, Amber Lotus is an extended family of nine people, including, a martial artist, an opera singer, two moms, musicians, gardeners, artists, and two practicing Tibetan Buddhists. We strive to consistently offer paper products that are unique, authentic, and distinctive. We care about the messages we convey, and we care about the world we all live in; we hope that shows in the work we do. Our mission is to bring you a sense of the eternal by illuminating spirit in the world. Within that, our goal is to do the greatest good with the least harm. To that end we donate 1% of our net proceeds to a variety of organizations.
