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

Meditation for All, by Ngon Som, is named as such since the Dhamma discovered by the Buddha is the universal law, the law of nature, which can be beneficial to anyone who is able to follow diligently the Noble Eightfold Path, summed up in three groups of sīla (morality), samādhi (concentration) and paññā (wisdom). Gotama Buddha, just like all the Buddhas in the past, found out this law due to his pāramī (perfections). Thus, the Buddha-Dhamma is not a monopoly but the possession of all, whether Christian, Jain, Muslim, Hindu, or Buddhist. This book is intended to inspire those who undertake the actual practice of sīla, samādhi and paññā; enabling them to come closer to the goal of full liberation.

This item is offered freely, but a shipping charge will apply.

About the Author
Ngon Som was born in Cambodia in 1930. He spent many years learning Pāli and Sanskrit at the Pāli High School in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. He received novice ordination at the age of 13, and then Bhikkhu ordination from the age of 20-40. He further pursued his higher studies at the Dhamma-duta College, Rangoon, Myanmar and the Chulalongkon Buddhist University in Bangkok, Thailand. Since 2005 until present, he and his wife, have been students of Vipassana meditation under the instruction of Mr. S.N. Goenka.

Meditation for All
I love this little book! It contains one of the best short summaries of the main points of the Buddha's teaching, along with brief and illuminating commentaries. I could feel the author's metta coming through the text. Ngon Son was a scholar and a teacher, and both are reflected in this gem. I also appreciated the extensive and easy-to-understand glossary. I'd recommend this for new old students who want a better understanding of the basics, as well as to more experienced students who can appreciate some of the nuances presented here.
