With the popularity of Buddhism, it’s a bit surprising I was only able to find three Buddhist Desk Calendars. While elsewhere I did find other kinds of Buddhist calendars, these three do just what you want in a desk calendar: remind you of the wisdom of Buddhism AND help keep you up to date on where you are in the year.
Buddha Postcards 2011 Easel Desk Calendar $17.99
This weekly easel-backed desk calendar has 52 images of the Buddha with a weekly calendar grid at the top perforated to make 52 individual 6″ x 4 3/10″ postcards. The calendar grid is in four languages and includes phases of the moon.

Wisdom of the East 2011 Mini Desk Calendar $8.99 This spiritual and uplifting calendar, filled with quotes from great Eastern thinkers such as Buddha, the Dalai Lama, and Dogen, offers insight and direction for living harmoniously in the world. The backer of this compact yet functional calendar includes an easel for display on a counter or desk and magnets that allow it to be attached to a metal surface. By Andrews McMeel
Zen Page-A-Day 2011 Desk Calendar $12.99
This is the least ‘Buddhist’ of the three desk calendars, but it’s perhaps the one you’ll end up buying. It will help you to open your eyes and mind anew every morning. Based on the bestselling book, the Zen Calendar features a daily koan, quote, parable, sutra, or poem filled with surprise, paradox, and infinite wisdom in very few words. The Zen of artists: “The simplest things give me ideas” (Joan MirÓ). The Zen of saints: “The most divine knowledge of God is that which is known by not knowing” (St. Denis).
