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] .

Hacia el Buda desde el Occidente es una presentación racional y occidental de las Enseñanzas de Siddhattha Gotama, el Buda, y del camino que el gran Sabio señala para acabar con el sufrimiento y el estrés. Las Enseñanzas son esencialmente una manera de vivir y en ellas no hay creencias, ceremonias, paraísos ni infiernos. El budismo es una religión, las Enseñanzas no lo son. Si no hubiera budismo, budista sería entonces quien practica las Enseñanzas, como futbolista es quien juega al fútbol y pianista quien toca el piano. Como no hay futbolismo ni pianismo, tampoco debería haber budismo. Al igual que el futbolista y el pianista, el budista auténtico no requiere creer en hipótesis metafísicas ni en rituales extraños; solo necesita practicar las Enseñanzas. Si practica poco, obtendrá pobres resultados; si practica mucho, logrará progresos notables; si practica todo el tiempo, será un virtuoso.


Y de la misma forma que para el futbolista son importantes las reglas de juego y para el pianista la teoría musical, para el budista es relevante el Orden Natural -los aspectos de la naturaleza y de la experiencia que se relacionan con las instrucciones de vivir. En los idiomas orientales del budismo, el Orden Natural—es sinónimo de las Enseñanzas. Como lo implica la expresión, el Orden Natural es sencillo, sin mitos ni misterios, de la forma cómo Hacia el Buda desde el Occidente busca presentar Las Enseñanzas.



From the West toward the Buddha is a rational, "occidentalized" presentation of the teachings of Gotama, the Buddha, including the path the Sage points out to end suffering. The teachings, as explained in this book, are essentially a Way of Living, devoid of rituals and preaccepted beliefs. Buddhists are those who practice the teachings, as violinists are those who play violin and pianists those who play piano. In the same way the term Buddhism might also be considered unncessary. Like violinists and pianists, Buddhists are not required to believe in metaphysical hypotheses or the efficacy of rituals; they just need to practice. If adopters seldom practice, they get poor results; if they practice a lot, they may achieve remarkable progress; if they practice all the time, they could very well become masters.


As musical theory is very important to violinists and pianists, the Natural Order—the aspects of nature and experience that offer instructions for living—is a synonym for the Buddha's teachings. As the expression implires, the Natural Order is simple, without myths or mysteries. This is the way From the West toward the Buddha attempts to present the teachings.

Review
Recomiendo altamente este libro por la profundidad de conocimiento en el tema, la claridad con que se expresan conceptos que generalmente son difíciles de explicar, por lo ameno que lo hacen una serie de reflexiones sobre el conocimiento científico moderno en temas como la teoría de la evolución, genética, etc. Otro gran logro del autor es que este libro puede ser apreciado por una vasta audiencia, tal como lo dice en su introducción a " Hacia el Buda....", este libro está dirigido a "cualquier persona que tenga interés en el budismo como religión, filosofía, psicología o práctica de vida, independientemente de su nivel de conocimiento en el tema, sea principiante, intermedio o erudito." Además, los nueve apéndices de este libro son testimonio de un meticuloso trabajo de investigación de temas pertinentes, con un completo cuadro sobre los libros del canon Pali, una exelente selección de las escrituras, glosario sobre el idioma Pali mismo, consideraciones semánticas, etc, que en su conjunto presentan un serio y completo panorama sobre las enseñanzas del Buda. En mi opinión este libro se puede convertir en un clásico, junto con "Buddhism without beliefs" ("Budismo sin creencias") por Stephen Batchelor, ya que logra completamente su objetivo del título completo, que es de presentar al Buda y "sus enseñanzas sin mitos ni misterios".
