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] .

  • More Info

This Pariyatti Edition* is an anthology of 423 verses spoken by the Buddha, the Dhammapada serves as the perfect compendium of his teachings for study, reflection, and contemplation. This popular publication, originally published by the Buddhist Publication Society in 1990, transmits the spirit and content as well as the style of the original, skillfully combining clarity and vigor of expression with careful fidelity to the meaning. The inclusion of the Pali text gives students of Pali immediate access to the original.

A robust introduction by Bhikkhu Bodhi describes the structure of the Dhammapada and shows how the work embodies the essential teachings of the Buddha. He states, "Wherever [The Dhammapada] has become known its moral earnestness, realistic understanding of human life, aphoristic wisdom, and stirring message of a way to freedom from suffering has won for it the devotion and veneration of those responsive to the good and the true."

*Pariyatti Editions use stronger spines and thicker paper compared to past editions.

5 Stars
A great addition to one's Dhamma library
I like this version of The Dhammapada for two reasons: 1) at 3.75x4.75 inches it is small enough to be easily carried about and 2) having both Pāli and English for the verses makes it even more interesting if one is learning Pāli. My only suggestion is that it would be better (in my opinion) to have a more durable binding/cover. My copy is literally falling apart from usage and being carried about. Now, some may say that, as the Buddha said, "All conditioned things are impermanent" and this just supports the verse. But I would like a binding and cover that was just a bit more durable. Maybe a future edition would incorporate these suggestions.

Dhammapada
While the Dhammapada is available from many sources, it's offered here for a modest cost with a translation accompanied by the original Pali. As a student of Pali, it's a treasure to have these 2 languages juxtaposed for my reading pleasure. A highly honored Buddhist text offered by people (Pariyatti.org) who actually uphold its contents, offers the buyer a Win/Win scenario: the purchaser gets access to this valuable-as-ever philosophy, simultaneously earning good kamma by making the purchase with Pariyatti.org who will, in turn, make the opportunity open to others=sustainability for Buddhism itself, whose value in today's tumultuous times could never be assessed. The icing on the cake is that the translation (accompanied with an Introduction by the erudite Bhikkhu Boddhi) retains all the power emanating from the simplicity of profundity.
