Description
Los cinco reyes is a Spanish version of the English book The Five Kings and the French edition, Les Cinq Rois.
Un rey y su familia.
Un reino próspero.
Luego una noche, ¡todo ha cambiado!
El rey ha sido envenenado por los cinco Reyes de la
Codicia, el Odio, la Agitación, el Sueño y la Duda.
La familia real debe decidir cómo responder:
con violencia o con paz.
Los cinco reyes es un libro ilustrado que explica los cinco obstáculos de la meditación, que impiden el control de la mente. Mélusine Martin recurre a sus muchos años de experiencia en meditación y narración de cuentos para ofrecernos una historia profunda y memorable sobre un príncipe pacífico que utiliza el poder de una mente tranquila y serena para convencer a cinco reyes codiciosos, iracundos y autoindulgentes de que cambien sus costumbres y, a su vez, encuentren su propia paz interior.
A través del poder de estas llamativas ilustraciones en acuarela y de una historia memorable, el lector aprenderá poco a poco el arte de calmar la mente y encontrar la paz interior.
Ilustraciones de T. K. Diem Nguyen.

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 .
