This paper reviews Spanish Buddhist editorial production, which is quite outstanding, comprising nearly two thousand books. The work has two main parts. In the part titled «Publishing strategies of Buddhist groups: generalist publishers», the works of Buddhist authors published in non-specialized publishers are analyzed; among these, Editorial Kairós stands out, with more than a hundred titles. In the following section, the Buddhist-oriented publishing houses are reviewed, demonstrating the importance of the publishers that are associated with groups of Tibetan Buddhism, among which Ediciones Dharma stands out. This outstanding production of books is a remarkable element in the visibility of Buddhism in Spain, leading Buddhism to be the religion with the greatest presence in publishing in the country, after Christianity.Downloads
