Customer Reviews of Tricycle

A great alternative to other publications
It is indeed a day of excitement and anticipation when the postal carrier drops off a copy of Tricycle magazine. Not only is it filled with interesting, insightful and lively articles, it is one of the highest quality publications in terms of color, photography, art, typography currently in print. <

>A major tenent of buddhist teachings is to recognize and control cravings, yearning and desires, so I won't tell you that I wish they would publish this magazine monthly or even bi-monthly. But maybe its frequency is one of the reasons it is so richly filled with great content. <

>Tricycle is a great compliment to the Shambhala Sun, too.

A book quality magazine
Are you a Buddhist, enjoy meditation, or are you interested in learning more about Buddhism? Then this may be the magazine for you.

Tricycle is well written, has great photos, and is a very nice looking magazine. (The quality of the paper, heavy with a glossy coating, gives the magazine a 'coffee table book' feel.)

What I liked most about my subscription to Tricycle was that as a Buddhist in America I felt more of a connection to others who share the same interest. I also enjoyed reading articles on the different schools of Buddhism. Even the advertisements were helpful in learning more about cushions, retreat centers and more.

Of all the Buddhist magazines now entering the market this one seems, to me, to be the best of the group. Enjoy your subscription!

Very Motivating and Informative
This magazine helps you understand Buddhism a little bit at a time. It, however enormously motivates you to meditate. Especially in the western culture, where materialism is so rampant, there is little to motivate you to sit still and spend time with yourself. This magazine makes me want to meditate, learn more and find answers to some of the difficult question sthat arise. It also helps me select the right books to deepen my practice. There is roughly equal representation of Tibbatan Buddhism, Zen and the Vipassana traditions, and quite often, much to my joy, there is such an amalgamation of these three main divisions. What ever lineage you may belong to, or want to pursue, you would still like the basic oneness of the Buddha's teaching.
Those interested in Buddhism should also look into "The Shambhala Sun" magazine, which comes every 2 months and which, though leans more towards Tibbatan Buddhism, does carry superb articles, book reviews and practical instructions. I think it is every bit as useful as Tricylcle.
Lastly those more inclined towards Zen Buddhism would like "The Mountain record", a quarterly magazine. It seems too abstract to me though, although I appreciate some of the articles and practically all the superb photographs it has in black and white.
