Thank you for your support.

Thanks to individuals like you, Pariyatti has reached its main fundraising goal, with donations of more than $70,000! An additional challenge is still underway: $2,500 is pledged by three supporters if 250 donors give $50 or more by the end of February. You can contribute online now, or if you would prefer to make your gift by check, you can send it to Pariyatti, 867 Larmon Road, Onalaska, WA 98570 (USA).

You can give a lump sum, become a regular monthly donor, or pledge an annual donation. If your employer matches employee donations to nonprofits, your contributions go twice as far.

Keeping thousands of Dhamma resources in stock or in print for ready shipment is Pariyatti's essential service. We are able to sustain this and other services because of donations from individuals.

Thanks to all who contribute, both donors and customers. We really do depend on you!

Pariyatti means . . .

In Pāli, the language of ancient Northern India, pariyatti refers to study of the theoretical aspects of the Dhamma. Pariyatti, Paṭipatti (practice) and Paṭivedha (direct realization) comprise the essence of the Buddha's teaching.

Keeping Dhamma books in print is a significant part of Pariyatti's mission. Thanks to several generous donors, we were able to reprint Meditation Now and Karma and Chaos. Other books are awaiting funding. Learn how you can help keep great books in print.

More than a bookstore

Pariyatti is a nonprofit educational organization that seeks out, publishes and makes available materials to inspire, educate and illuminate the seeker's path. We're a comprehensive resource for the teachings of the Buddha as preserved in the Theravada tradition and a primary source for print and digital information about Vipassana meditation as taught by S.N. Goenka, in the tradition of Sayagyi U Ba Khin.

We're more than a bookstore, however. Check out Resources & Projects, or click on an icon to learn more. We are sustained in these endeavors by the generosity of donors.
