“Straight Outta Kapilavastu” or, “Home Taping Is Skill in Buddha”
The following multimedia essay is a guest blog post from writer M. Sophia Newman. One day, long after he became a teacher, the Buddha went to give his daily sermon to the monastic community.

Buddha Buzz: Buddhist News from Around the World, Week of December 10
A couple months ago a review copy of the book How to Think More about Sex came to the Trike offices (we didn't order it, I swear). I remember looking at it quizzically—I'm feeling literary today, so let's say I looked at it with a furrowed brow—thinking, why would anyone want to think more about sex? Certainly we could all stand to think a little less about it. More »
