The Dohasa Library
The Dohasa Library is a growing collection of books focused on the Korean Zen tradition, the only one of its kind in Norway. It is a trilingual library with books available in English, Korean and Norwegian. The library is located at SKOKS and is open during Dohasa’s regular weekly sittings and monthly all-day retreats. Members can borrow and return books during these times and may also reserve titles online in advance to ensure availability.

Help The Dohasa Library Grow
The Dohasa Library has been built through the generosity of fellow practitioners. By donating a book from our wish list, you help preserve and share the words of great teachers and the living wisdom of our tradition, making them available to all who wish to study and deepen their practice.
​
If you wish to donate a book, please visit our online wish list. Donated books may be brought to Tuesday evening sittings or the monthly all-day retreats. If you prefer to send a book directly to Dohasa, please contact us for delivery details. A note of thanks will be written inside each donated book, and we will let you know when it has been added to the library.
Thank you for your generosity.
