Description
Description
Esta colección de poemas en prosa está basada en las enseñanzas del Buda. Lo seleccionado ha sido elegido con una finalidad inspiradora más que como una representación que aspire abarcar el amplio espectro de la enseñanza. Hemos compartido con anterioridad partes de esta selección, en varias ocasiones, en forma de diapositivas, o las hemos leído en voz alta a nuestras amistades, como después de concluir algún taller, o al terminar las reuniones de profesores asistentes, en torno a la fogata en parques nacionales, o después de una sesión de Metta por la noche. Han sido recibidas con aprecio de una manera consistente y han evocado peticiones múltiples para su publicación.
Todas estas composiciones combinan los pensamientos del Buda con expresiones contemporáneas. No pueden considerarse citas directas del Canon en lengua Pali, debido a que solo hemos trabajado con traducciones al inglés y a que hemos combinado varios pasajes similares o modificado el lenguaje para facilitar la lectura. Sin embargo, tampoco podemos afirmar que estas palabras sean originales nuestras, puesto que son en el espíritu del Buda. Son una re-expresión breve y poética de algunas de sus ideas más importantes. Son chispas de la fogata que continúan resplandeciendo en la oscuridad.
Nuestra intención es que estas diapositivas, o páginas, inspiren por igual a meditadores y a personas que no meditan. Están escritas desde la auténtica experiencia de la inquietante condición humana y se articulan desde la perspectiva del sufrimiento, así como del Sendero para salir del sufrimiento. Son vestigios de comprensión cabal que han cruzado el puente del tiempo desde la India ancestral hasta nuestros días.
Esperamos que ustedes encuentren la sabiduría que fluye a través del tiempo en el río de palabras que nace en el antiguo manantial del Canon en lengua Pali.
Paul R. y Susan K. Fleischman

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 .
