This book brings together a broad range of Buddhist meditative
techniques that have appeared in the magazine over the years.
Contributors include some of the foremost voices in contemporary
Buddhism: Pema Chödrön starts our journey with an inspirational
Foreword. Lama Surya Das explores the definition of meditation,
while Sharon Salzberg and Joseph Goldstein lay out a 28-day program
for establishing a daily practice. Wherever you are on your search,
you will find plenty of guidance in this book. Learn about insight
meditation from Bhante Henepola Gunaratana and Sylvia Boorstein. Or
about zazen from Barry Magid and Martine Batchelor. Gil Fronsdal
offers instruction in metta (lovingkindness) meditation, while
Judith Simmer-Brown teaches tonglen, a Tibetan Buddhist practice
for cultivating compassion. We also learn about the crucial role
the body plays in meditation from S. N. Goenka, Reginald Ray, Wes
Nisker, and Cyndi Lee. We receive guidance on managing issues that
arise in meditation from Jon Kabat-Zinn, Christina Feldman,
Matthieu Ricard, Pat Enkyo O'Hara and others. And there are
practices for bringing mindfulness and compassion to daily life
from Thubten Chodron, Sayadaw U Tejaniya and Michael Carroll.
Though targeted to the reader who would like to begin meditating,
this collection also offers support and guidance to the experienced
meditator working to sustain a lifelong practice. This is a guide
to meditative practice for any seeker wishing to deepen their
understanding of themselves and their world. Edited by Joan Duncan
Oliver Launched in 1991, Tricycle: The Buddhist Review is the most
inclusive and widely read vehicle for presenting Buddhist
perspectives to a Western audience. By remaining unaffiliated with
any one teacher, sect or lineage, Tricycle provides an independent
forum for exploring Buddhist teachings and practices, bringing
Buddhist thinking to Western disciplines, and establishing a
dialogue between Buddhism and the broader culture. This approach
has enabled the magazine to attract readers from all walks of life
who wish to enrich their lives through a deeper knowledge of
Buddhist traditions.
