    Vipassana and Pariyatti, is free from any religion, although follows Buddha's teachings. It teaches, how we can experience ourselves, not just accepting anyone's theory.

  • Pariyatti vipassana treasures

    These podcasts are invaluable for the seekers of truth and love within themselves. Being a vipassana meditator it really helps me to keep my theory healthy along with the practice. Just listening to Mr Goenka's voice creates a sense of urgency in me and inspires me to practice ardently. Thanks Pariyatti for making this resource available. May all beings be happy. :)
