Donation Funds
- General Donations - These donations help to cover necessary expenses to help Pariyatti offer its services. This includes staffing, software, and all operating expenses.
- Pali Workshop Fund - Pariyatti offers residential Pali Workshops on a "by donation" basis. These workshops are an opportunity for people to study the Buddha's words while also practicing his teachings through Vipassana Meditation. As the workshops are offered on a "by donation" basis, they will allow people to participate regardless of their financial means. Donations to this fund will help cover necessary costs for these workshop (rental of facility, food, etc.). The teachers are volunteers and receive no payment.
- Dana Distribution Fund - This program allows us to offer a significant number of books and media freely to monks, nuns, monasteries, meditation centers, and others.
- Publication Fund - Contributions to the Publication Fund enable us to continue publishing titles focused on the teachings of the Buddha and Vipassana Meditation as taught by S.N. Goenka. In some cases, these donations allow us to print larger initial print runs. This can significantly reduce the retail cost, allowing more people to have access to these books. View upcoming titles for the year.
