We wish the Pariyati pilgrims currently Along the Path a beneficial journey. They are seen here at the Chaukhandi Stupa at Sarnath, the place where the Buddha reunited his first five disciples, the five ascetic that had been Gotama's companions before he abandoned asceticism himself.

Just released: Ian McCrorie's newest book of inspirational poetry. Everything Is Just That delves into the wisdom of embracing flaws, imperfections, and the impermanence of life. Through personal anecdotes, poems, and insightful reflections, the author explores how to cultivate a mindset of gratitude and acceptance, leading to a more peaceful and fulfilling life. This work encourages readers to let go of the need for perfection and to find joy in the beauty of the imperfect, especially within ourselves.

The Brahmajāla Sutta is one of the Buddha's most important and profound discourses; it weaves a net of sixty-two cases capturing all the speculative views on the self and the world.

The long introduction by Bhikkhu Bodhi is itself a modern philosophical commentary on the sutta. It elucidates the key points of the discourse and explains the place of the Brahmajāla in the overall structure of Buddhist thought.

Pariyatti Presents... Event Recording

Residential Pāli Workshops
|
Since 2012 Pariyatti has facilitated 37 residential Pāli workshops for Vipassana meditators across the globe. Generally the workshops are eight to nine days long, with daily schedules similar to those of a 10-day Vipassana course—including three daily group sittings and morning chanting—but with both study and meditation periods throughout the day.
In these residential workshops participants receive a basic introduction to Pāli grammar and pronunciation, after which most of their time is spend reading, reciting, and understanding the suttas and 10-day course material—such as the formalities and morning chants—in the Pāli language.
In 2024 a longer workshop was held for the first time, providing participants who already had some experience with the Pāli language the opportunity to gain a deeper grasp of it during 20 days.
This coming year we have another long workshop listed: a 17-day introductory workshop by Mor Ifrah, scheduled for August in California. The goal is to help participants gain a good enough grasp of the Pāli language to experience the benefits and joy of exploring the rare treasure of the Buddha’s words in their original language. Pāli resources and aids for future individual learning will be provided so that, if they wish, participants can continue their Pāli studies after the workshop.
Two other introductory workshops scheduled for 2025 will be given in the Spanish language, one in Spain, and one in Colombia. These workshops will be taught by Adriana Patiño.
Para el próximo año se impartirán dos talleres de iniciación a la lengua española, uno en España y otro en Colombia. Estos talleres serán impartidos por Adriana Patiño, quien enseña siguiendo un método que hace hincapié en el contenido de los textos más que en la gramática. Los participantes recibirán primero una introducción a la gramática Pāli y a la pronunciación correcta, y después concentrarán la mayor parte de su tiempo en leer, recitar y comprender el contexto de los suttas y el material del curso de 10 días, como las formalidades y los cantos matutinos.
