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] .

Paul Fleischman, psychiatrist, author and long-time meditator, writes about the psychology, wisdom and poetry of those who have inspired him in his personal quest for harmony and happiness.

The learnable qualities of peaceful living are brought into focus by examining the lives of diverse exemplars such as Mahatma Gandhi, Walt Whitman, Henry David Thoreau, the Buddha, John Muir, Scott and Helen Nearing, and Rabindranath Tagore. His ultimate example is an autobiographical account of his own experience with his practice of Vipassana.

The final chapter of the book is a compelling appeal to all people to walk the path of peace as a way of healing the earth itself. This new paperback edition includes a new introduction and a foreword by Professor William Radice, noted Tagore scholar and poet.

"It’s important to appreciate at the outset that peace is a dynamic product of the way you live, and not a mere parenthesis or vacation from who you really are," writes the author.


Endorsements

A must read for all seekers who have begun to sense that the way is essentially an inward turning one.

— John Beary, Center Teacher for Dhamma Mahavana, California, USA

The Ideal of Inner Peace
In this book, psychiatrist Paul Fleischman writes poetically and poignantly about this lure which is a spiritual practice, a determined way of life, and a lifelong quest. "Starting from many different courtyards and doorsteps, it always converges on purity of heart, horizonless perspective and service to the common cause." In order to delineate the multiple meanings of inner peace, the author looks at the lives of people who pursued it with dedication, creativity, imagination, discipline, and devotion. He finds hints of peace as a dynamic force in the simple lifestyle of the Shakers and in the organic gardening of Scott and Helen Nearing. Walt Whitman's ecstatic poetry and Mahatma Gandhi's inner cultivation of peace are two more examples. John Muir and Henry David Thoreau are heralded for their discoveries of peace in the natural world. Father Daniel Berrigan shows us the prophetic dimensions of peace as a way of life, and the Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore demonstrates a life of peace in action. While many psychological tracts have cheapened the ideal of inner peace, Paul Fleischman enables us to see it afresh as "a natural phenomenon, a sweet memory, and a provocative force."
