A volunteer's perspective on punctuation and grammar
|
One of the imprints Pariyatti publishes under is BPE (BPS Pariyatti Editions). We republish classic Theravāda titles by the Buddhist Publication Society (Sri Lanka), meeting current western printing standards. The BPE Pariyatti Editions are quality prints with an ergonomic page size, an easy-to-read font, and a sturdy spine. We keep the actual content unchanged, however all titles do go through a meticulous copy-editing process before being brought out.
Barry Richman, a retired editor and publishing manager, has been copy editing on a volunteer basis for our publishing department for a few years now.
The way Barry got involved with Pariyatti was quite organic. While buying books via www.pariyatti.org he started occasionally submitting errata (suggestions for corrections) of books in our catalog. Those errata were of such a high standard that we were very pleased when he agreed to volunteer as a regular copy editor.

In line with his preference to edit “anything written, introduced by, or otherwise involving Bhikkhu Bodhi, Bhikkhu Anālayo, or Ledi Sayādaw,” Barry has since then copy edited several titles by Ledi Sayādaw, the first volumes of the BPE Collected Wheel Publications we brought out recently, and co-edited the classic Buddhist Dictionary by Nyanatiloka Thera.
“For their clarity and scholarship, Bhikkhu Bodhi and Bhikkhu Anālayo are my favorite translators and explainers of the Dhamma. Understanding Ledi Sayādaw is my favorite challenge,” Barry says.

Working from a small room at home where he is surrounded by bookshelves, and has a working collection of suttas, BPE’s Comprehensive Manual of Abhidhamma, and other reference works within reach, Barry says he starts the editing process in the simplest way possible. He pulls up the PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader on his 27-inch iMac and reads for meaning.

A French translation of the classic introduction to Vipassana meditation. It is a full-length study of the teaching of S.N. Goenka, prepared under his guidance and with his approval. Useful for meditators and non-meditators alike. It describes the practice of Vipassana at length for the general reader and presents stories by Goenkaji, as well as answers to students' questions that convey a vivid sense of his teaching.

The first courses S.N. Goenka conducted outside of India were held in France and England in 1979. Those courses, as well as the ones organized in the following years, were held at rented sites. The first European Vipassana Meditation Center—Dhamma Mahi—was established in 1988, in France.
Currently France is host to three centers and four non-center locations. There is a center in Quebec, Canada, and one as well in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. The course schedule on www.dhamma.org for the coming 12 months shows 62 ten-day courses in the French language worldwide (in Belgium, Canada, France, Haiti, Mauritius, Morocco, Reunion Island, Switzerland), as well as various one-, two-, and three-day, and Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta courses—for Old Students).
Local retailers Vipassana Livres (in France) and Source Vipassana (in Eastern Canada) store most of our catalog. Ordering with them could save in shipping costs.
