Les Deux Océans

Les Deux Océans

The Two Oceans is a repository of wisdom—the wealth of an enlightened humanity—that addresses awakening with a philosophical approach. From one shore to the other, its publications foster a dialogue between East and West.

This publishing house, founded in 1985, has the following guiding principle:

• The preservation of the teachings of masters and major texts of Eastern and Western spiritualities (Tibetan Buddhism, Theravada, Zen, Advaita Vedanta, Kashmiri Shaivism, Hinduism, Islam, Sufism, Taoism, Christianity, interreligious dialogue, etc.).

• Their transmission through the publication of translations, studies, and reference commentaries. (Source Accessed Mar 13, 2026)
