    se necesita un ser realizado Paid Member

    Posted by Sam Mowe on 23 Nov 2010
    We were recently asked permission to have a Tricycle article translated and published in Spanish. Here's what it looks like. It's Tai Situpa Rinpoche's "It Takes a Saint," and it appears in the most recent edition of Cuadernos de budismo, a quarterly magazine based in Spain. We are especially fond of the young man meditating in a suit. Read the piece in English here. More »

    Survey on Perceptions of Monasticism within Buddhism Paid Member

    Posted by Monty McKeever on 26 Oct 2010
    via Jennifer Harris, Hi! Working toward my PhD in community psychology, I’m conducting a survey (one version in English, the other Tibetan) of the perceptions of monasticism within Buddhism. With its spread to the West, Buddhist practitioners in the United States tend mostly to be lay and there are very few monasteries. This study therefore examines the role and relevancy of the monastic tradition within the Western Buddhist cultural community.  I will also be posting an exact replica of the survey in the Tibetan language so that I can cross-examine two distinct cultural communities’ perceptions about monasticism. The first version of the survey, which is for Westerners, is available here. Help Jennifer out! More »
