En 1969, S. N. Goenka arriva en Inde pour une mission de toute une vie : rétablir la méditation Vipassana sur la terre de ses origines et la diffuser à travers le monde. La Newsletter de Vipassana fût une contribution clé à cette mission.
Cette collection d articles illustre la variété des contenus présentés dans la Newsletter pendant ces quelques dizaines d années. Le format, le style et le mode de distribution ont évolué, mais l objectif sous-jacent n a jamais changé : apporter information et inspiration aux méditants partout dans le monde.
Au travers de ces pages on trouve des discussions théoriques, des exhortations d étudiants, des souvenirs et réminiscences, des questions et réponses, des récits d événements, et plus encore.
Ian Hetherington enseigne la méditation Vipassana en tant que représentant de S. N. Goenka depuis 1993. Il est l auteur de Realizing Change: Vipassana Meditation in Action, publié en 2003. Il vit au Royaume-Uni avec son épouse (également une enseignante de Vipassana) et leur fils.
Vipassana, which means to see things as they really are, is one of India's most ancient techniques of meditation. More information about Vipassana as taught by S.N. Goenka is available at www.dhamma.org.
The tag Vipassana identifies products that are directly related to this tradition and differentiates them from other Theravada resources available on our site. While the main emphasis in Vipassana meditation as taught by S.N. Goenka is on actual practice, this product may provide inspiration and guidance to a Vipassana meditator.
We also carry titles from the Theravada tradition, as we feel that by exploring the wider world of the Theravada texts, which include the Buddha’s discourses, commentaries, and scholarly articles and treatises, meditators have an opportunity to deepen their understanding of the Dhamma and thereby enrich their meditation practice. This kind of intellectual exploration also helps a meditator to gain an understanding of the evolution and historical context of their meditation tradition. This understanding in turn deepens their practice and understanding of the Dhamma.

Q: Why have you decided to partner with Amazon for the printing and distribution of your books?
A: Pariyatti is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to help disseminate the words of the Buddha.
The generosity of our customers and donors (donations make up ~25% of our revenue) is what has allowed Pariyatti to cover our annual shortfall, and permitted us to continue operations. We strive to continue to find ways to make best use of this hard-earned money, generously donated by so many to Pariyatti. One of these is to explore ways to optimize our operations.
Our goal is to disseminate Dhamma content. The choice of working with a given distribution partner is solely based on whether they can provide you, our customer (no matter where you live) with the item(s) you ordered in an accurate, timely, and reliable manner.
With the advent of eBooks and the internet, the entire book publishing and distribution industry has faced significant challenges. With these industry changes, and Pariyatti's additional challenges in serving a niche market with low sales volumes, it has been financially difficult to staff our own warehouse and operations. Year after year, the costs of maintaining our own warehouse has far exceeded the income.
By focusing on what we do best (such as make Dhamma content available at low or no cost), and partnering with others who have already built robust printing, packing, and delivery systems, we free up resources that can be redirected towards expanding Pariyatti's offerings for you.
We are always on the lookout for creative ways to make Dhamma content as widely and freely available as possible. If you have any ideas along these lines, please feel free to be in touch via director@pariyatti.org .
