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] .

Translation of Vibhanga, by Venerable U Thittila, 1969, 1988

The second book of the Abhidhamma-pitaka, Vibhanga, together with the first book of the Dhammasangani and the third book of the Dhatukatha, forms a closely related foundation for the proper and deep understanding of the Buddha's Dhamma. Whereas Dhammasangani provides a bird's eye view of the whole Tika and Duka groups with further systematic arrangements under classified heads, Vibhanga and Dhatukatha give closer view of selected portions of those groups bringing out minute details.

Thus, Kotthas Vara in Dhammasangani explains the way in which dhandaha, ayatana, dhatu, ahara, indriya, jhananga, and so on, are included in the Tika and Duka groups. However it does not furnish complete information about these dhammas. It is Vibhanga which provides full knowledge concerning them, stating the exact nature of each dhamma, its constituents and its relationship to other dhammas.

The Vibhanga is divided into eighteen chapters, each dealing with a particular aspect of the Dhamma, its full analysis and investigation into each constituent. The arrangement and classification into groups and categories and follows the same system as in Dhammasangani. Vibhanga may therefore be regarded as complementary to the Dhammasangani.

Vibhanga explains the following categories of Dhamma: Dhandha, Ayatana, Dhatu, Sacca, Indriya, Paticcasamuppada, satipatthana, sammappadhana, Iddhipada, Bojjhanga, Magga, Jhana, Appammanna, Sikkhapada, Patisambhida, Nana, Khuddhada vatthu, Dhammadhaya.

Each category is analyzed and discussed according to two or all three of the following methods of analysis: suttanta bhajanya- the meaning of the terms and the classification of the dhammas determined according to the Suttanta method; abhidhamma bhajaniya-the meaning of the terms and the classification of the dhammas determined according to the abhidhamma method; panha pucchaka-discussions in the form of question and answers.

It may be seen from the above list of the eighteen categories that they may be divided into three separate groups. The first group containing numbers 1-5 deals with mental and corporeal constituents of beings and two laws of nature to which they are constantly subjected (i.e. the Law of Impermanence and the Law of Dependent Origination). The second group containing numbers 7-12 is concerned with the practice of the holy life which will take beings out of suffering and the rounds of existence. The remaining six categories serve as a supplement to the first two groups, supplying fuller information and details where necessary.
