Une collection de versets du Bouddha, des essais du grand maître de la méditation Vipassana, S. N. Goenka, et des entretiens avec des méditants confrontés à la mort.
"L art de mourir s apprend en apprenant l art de vivre : comment devenir maître du moment présent. L art de mourir sera parfait uniquement si l on apprend l art de vivre." —S. N. Goenka
Un regard profond sur le plus grand enjeu qui nous attend tous : la mort, que ce soit la nôtre ou celle d un proche. Réunissant des matériaux de nombreuses sources, cette collection fournit un contexte permettant de comprendre la mort et de la vivre avec conscience et équanimité. On y trouve des passages de textes en Pali, des écrits de S. N. Goenka, des poèmes, des exposés théoriques et des questions et réponses. Mais les parties les plus fascinantes sont probablement les sections écrites par ou sur des méditants affrontant la fin de leur vie. Avec humilité, tendresse et souvent un sourire, ils apprennent à accepter leur propre impermanence, la souffrance et le non-soi. Leur courage et leur compassion sont des exemples et une inspiration pour chaque méditant Vipassana.
—William Hart, auteur, The Art of Living
J ai été inspiré par les histoires de ces personnes ordinaires qui ont fait face à la mort avec une sérénité et un courage exemplaires et qui ont attribué ce don à la méditation Vipassana.
—Paul R. Fleischman, auteur, Wonder, Cultivating Inner Peace
Apporte un éclairage pénétrant sur une réalité universelle trop souvent noircie par l ignorance, la peur et la mythologie. Tour à tour intelligent et touchant, instructif et poétique, scientifique et fervent, cet ouvrage examine son sujet important sous divers angles afin d expliquer, et d accepter, ce grand mystère qu est la mort. Qu il y parvienne d une manière si concise et lisible est vraiment remarquable.
—Ron Graham, auteur canadien et journaliste primé
J imagine qu il n y a pas de meilleure façon de vivre la fin de la vie en dehors de la méditation ou de la vivre soi-même que la lecture de ces magnifiques histoires.
—Rivers Cuomo, chanteur principal, Weezer

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.

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 director@pariyatti.org .
