VIPASSANA PRODUCTS

Vipassana, which means to see things as they really are, is one of India's most ancient techniques of meditation. More information about Vipassana as taught by S.N. Goenka is available at www.dhamma.org.

The tag Vipassana identifies products that are directly related to this tradition and differentiates them from other Theravada resources available on our site. While the main emphasis in Vipassana meditation as taught by S.N. Goenka is on actual practice, this product may provide inspiration and guidance to a Vipassana meditator.

We also carry titles from the Theravada tradition, as we feel that by exploring the wider world of the Theravada texts, which include the Buddha’s discourses, commentaries, and scholarly articles and treatises, meditators have an opportunity to deepen their understanding of the Dhamma and thereby enrich their meditation practice. This kind of intellectual exploration also helps a meditator to gain an understanding of the evolution and historical context of their meditation tradition. This understanding in turn deepens their practice and understanding of the Dhamma.

Why Amazon

Disclosure: Pariyatti is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.


Q: Why have you decided to partner with Amazon for the printing and distribution of your books?

A: Pariyatti is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to help disseminate the words of the Buddha.

The generosity of our customers and donors (donations make up ~25% of our revenue) is what has allowed Pariyatti to cover our annual shortfall, and permitted us to continue operations. We strive to continue to find ways to make best use of this hard-earned money, generously donated by so many to Pariyatti. One of these is to explore ways to optimize our operations.

Our goal is to disseminate Dhamma content. The choice of working with a given distribution partner is solely based on whether they can provide you, our customer (no matter where you live) with the item(s) you ordered in an accurate, timely, and reliable manner.

With the advent of eBooks and the internet, the entire book publishing and distribution industry has faced significant challenges. With these industry changes, and Pariyatti's additional challenges in serving a niche market with low sales volumes, it has been financially difficult to staff our own warehouse and operations. Year after year, the costs of maintaining our own warehouse has far exceeded the income.

By focusing on what we do best (such as make Dhamma content available at low or no cost), and partnering with others who have already built robust printing, packing, and delivery systems, we free up resources that can be redirected towards expanding Pariyatti's offerings for you.

We are always on the lookout for creative ways to make Dhamma content as widely and freely available as possible. If you have any ideas along these lines, please feel free to be in touch via [email protected] .

notes
i resonantly finished my yatra in India. This book as help me so much! Thank you! i had traveled with the e-book in mid-September. Here are some notes that i had while visiting the pleases. Sarnath: · In the Tibetan monastery the minimum price of a room was 400 ropes. · The chanting by the monks at the temple is only once a day, in Pali, at 18:30 and not at 18:00. · This is the new number of the center in sarnath: 9936234823 Shravasti: · New number for the center in Shravasti: 093-35-833375 Bodhgaya: · It is no more possible to meditate at night at the temple. (Since 2013) That’s it. I have one tip that can help the meditator’s during this yatra: ear plugs! :) metta

Essential information and inspiration
We have just returned from such a pilgrimage, which was considerably enhanced by the information in this book. We took the Kindle version, bookmarked the places we were visiting, and used it as our "Michelin Guide". When your time in a place is limited, it makes all the difference to know the lie of the land already.

This guide would make planning your own trip easier and more successful, so there's no need to book a packaged trip planed by someone else, and paying for their guide - this book is your guide!

Critically to its success, the authors welcome your feedback to improve it - this responsiveness is what will keep it fresh, relevant, and ever improving.

If you're even thinking of making this kind of trip, get this book, be inspired by it, plan your trip with it, and be grateful for their work forever.

Excellent guide
Last February I led a group of twenty Buddhist practitioners to the holy sites in Buddhist India. We used Kory Goldberg and Michelle Decary's "Along the Path" as our guide to gain a deeper understanding of places we were visiting. We often used the book's selections from the Pali Canon as the basis of our group reflections and Dhamma talks. It became a most inspiring source for us both as travelers in India and as Buddhist pilgrims. Goldberg and Decary are to be complimented on their devotion and commitment in putting this book together for those wishing to visit the holy sites. – Resident Scholar at the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies

A tour guide to Buddhist sites throughout India
Two Canadian lovers of India, Kory Goldberg and Michelle Decary, have written an up-to-date tour guide to Buddhist sites throughout the subcontinent. They describe in detail a plethora of locations where the world of the Buddha and of his early followers can be contacted and correlated both with ancient Pali texts and also with contemporary meaning for modern meditators. The historical sites are more than that—they are repositories of India's spiritual wealth. – Author of Karma & Chaos, Cultivating Inner Peace, and An Ancient Path

Great book
"Along the Path" is one of the best books I have read, it is not only for foreigners, it is also good for Indians. It has so many details. I recommend this book to whoever is going to India, they should have this book with them. It has the meanings of common Indian words that are used everyday... it is so useful. I am proud of the authors, they really observed India. I am Indian and in many ways they know India better than me. I think this is one of the best gifts to give to someone.
