Debra Barrett - Realizing Change Video Series

March 22, 2022

This series is inspired by a book we first published over a decade ago, entitled Realizing Change: Vipassana Meditation in Action (by Ian Hetherington). In Realizing Change we are given access to voices from around the world, who share in-depth accounts of their apprehensions before undertaking a ten-day course in Vipassana, their experiences during the course, and the subtle, yet profound, experience of change activated by the practice of Vipassana. People from every walk of life, country, culture, and age have found Vipassana a steady anchor in the gale-force winds of change that buffet us. By facing reality head-on through direct observation—rather than reacting—impermanence itself becomes the very medium of transformation.

Along the same lines, in this new series of Pariyatti Presents… events, Vipassana meditators come and share their personal stories.

In this recording, fellow meditator Debra Barrett talks about the positive impact Vipassana Meditation has had on her life. Debra does not shy away from serious topics such as substance addiction and the difficulties Indigenous people face, and we are positive you will find her story captivating, educational, inspiring.

In the Spirit of the Buddha - an interview with Paul R. and Susan K. Fleischman

March 08, 2022

In the Spirit of the Buddha
an interview with Paul R. and Susan K. Fleischman.

Vipasana teachers in the tradition of S.N. Goenka, Susan K. And Paul R. Fleischman have been walking on the path of Dhamma for many decades. Paul has published various titles relating to the teachings of the Buddha and Vipassana meditation. Paul's work often bridges his experience as a seeker and meditator and his professional background in science—psychology, biology, and medicine.

The topic of this Pariyatti Presents... event of February 27 is a book that Susan and Paul have worked on together. It is a collection of prose poems entitled In the Spirit of the Buddha.

In the Spirit of the Buddha is aimed to inspire, rather than to represent the full span of the teaching of the Buddha. All compositions combine the Buddha’s thoughts with contemporary phrasing. They cannot be considered direct quotes from the Pāli Canon, because the authors have worked only with English language translations and combined similar passages, or modified the language for readability. At the same time, the authors emphasize that these words are not original to them, because they are in the spirit of the Buddha. They are sparks from the campfire that continue to glow in the dark.

Cultivating Inner Peace - an interview with Paul R. Fleischman

December 17, 2021

Cultivating Inner Peace an interview with Paul R. Fleischman
.

Paul Fleischman, psychiatrist, author and long-time meditator, writes about the psychology, wisdom and poetry of those who have inspired him in his personal quest for harmony and happiness.

The learnable qualities of peaceful living are brought into focus by examining the lives of diverse exemplars such as Mahatma Gandhi, Walt Whitman, Henry David Thoreau, the Buddha, John Muir, Scott and Helen Nearing, and Rabindranath Tagore. His ultimate example is an autobiographical account of his own experience with his practice of Vipassana.

The final chapter of the book is a compelling appeal to all people to walk the path of peace as a way of healing the earth itself. This new paperback edition includes a new introduction and a foreword by Professor William Radice, noted Tagore scholar and poet.
