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. A comprehensive resource for the teachings of the Buddha as preserved in the Theravada tradition, Pariyatti is also 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.

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.
