    Letters to the Editor Paid Member

    Conflicts of Interest Every time I turn to your letters page I find another batch of readers canceling their subscriptions, citing some outrage to their sensibilities like gay tantra or Richard Gere. Do you realize that if this trend continues, you are going to be left with a readership comprising just a load of open-minded, non-judgmental types who actually welcome having their preconceptions challenged? You have been warned! David Lewis… More »

    Papal Bull I have read your magazine for years, and I was completely taken aback to see such a thing as this open letter to the pope (Summer 2000).  I have been a Tibetan Buddhist/ dzogchen practitioner for ten years and Zen before that. BUT I recently converted to Catholicism. Perhaps Dr. LaFleur is unaware that the church - yes, the church - is not opposed to birth control, only to artificial methods. I remember when I was a young hippie that natural birth control was what everyone was supposed to do. The Catholic church supports this and teaches it. I also find it alarming that Dr. LaFleur continually presumes to speak for “many Catholics.” As a longtime Buddhist practitioner and a Catholic, I believe it is important always to try to work with each other and all the world - after we have worked on ourselves.  More »

    Ordinary Mind I really enjoy Tricycle. I love the intellectual awareness that the articles demand of me. I am always thrilled when Tricycle comes in the mail and always learn there is hope for my path, however vague or cluttered it may become. The dharma is truth - that much I know. I am wondering whether others are out there too. I am a poor Buddhist, live a simple life and try to pay my bills. I’d like Tricycle to include me in your magazine - stories about regular folks out there working away and trying to follow the path. The Ph.D.s stimulate my intellect, but I could use a hero or two!! Thanks for listening. Jane Hilton Tucson, Arizona Bad Company More »

    PRACTICING FAITH I have no qualms about Mr. Batchelor's agnosticism regarding reincarnation. His beliefs are quite reasonable. However, when he states that "an agnostic position toward death seems more compatible with an authentic spiritual attitude," I wonder where he acquired the copyright to the "authentic spiritual attitude."
