Pariyatti exists to bring people into contact with the teachings of the Buddha. We provide resources in the Theravāda tradition and support Pāli language students and Vipassana meditators, in the tradition of Sayagyi U Ba Khin as taught by S.N. Goenka. We serve meditators, scholars, educators, and the public by providing ready access to hard-to-find titles and a large collection of online resources. Our main warehouse is located in Hillsboro, Oregon, USA. We have another storage/day-11 sales location in Onalaska, Washington, USA.
