The aim of these workshops is to provide greater access to the words of the Buddha, which will enable a deeper understanding of the Buddha's teaching, the Dhamma. Goenkaji has emphasized that Pāli workshops such as these are very beneficial: they help meditators develop inspiration and understanding of the theoretical aspect of Dhamma. However, these workshops cannot take place at a Vipassana center, as centers are dedicated to the practice of Vipassana only. Therefore, a suitable off-center location is arranged for each course.

Pariyatti offers residential Pali Workshops on a "by donation" basis. These workshops are an opportunity for people to study the Buddha's words while also practicing his teachings through Vipassana Meditation. As the workshops are offered on a "by donation" basis, they will allow people to participate regardless of their financial means.
