Tricycle Teachings: Body in Practice

Member Supported Content

Tricycle Teachings e-books are available to all Supporting and
Sustaining Members. Join now to enjoy the entire collection.

Summary

In sitting meditation, it often occurs to us that our bodies have been the last thing on our minds; we've been living in a prison of thought, fantasy, of plans for a future that never happens. In this e-book, Tricycle Teachings: Body in Practice, learn how your body is your best tool for practice. Featuring teachings by Shantideva, S.N. Goenka, Sylvia Boorstein, Reggie Ray, and Jon Kabat-Zinn, it's the perfect way to start off your new year.

  1. "What Body?" by Shantideva
  2. "Finding Sense in Sensation," by S. N. Goenka
  3. "Remembering How to Walk," by John House
  4. "Evolution’s Body," by Wes Nisker
  5. "Body as Body," by Sylvia Boorstein

I am experiencing the same problem as everyone else in trying to download. Your 800# also appears to be out of order. The call goes into music as if you are on hold and then a message comes on saying the call cannot be completed as dialed, try again later. Hope you work out all your technical diffculties.

This means that the support line is currently occupied; the best thing to do is to try again later (the line is open from 8:30 to 4:30 EST) or to send an email to support@tricycle.com. In the meantime, take a look at our instructional video, linked to above, and see if that helps with any questions you have about downloading.

I have just downloaded it. You go through process of entering name address etc as if paying for it. (It is free) When ordered you get an email with a link to various types of download. I hope this helps. All the best from day to day in every day of 2013. Tony

Unfortunately I cannot find the 'Download' button to click. All I see under the ebook cover is " Read & Write Reviews" and "Join". I'm a sustaining member and duly logged in. If I go to the 'entire collection', there's an option to download which simply brings me back here with the invite to "join" again, and no 'Download' option. Any suggestions?

Hi Ted,
I took a look at your account. Although I see that you ordered a sustaining membership last month, it is listed as "pending." This is why you see "Join" instead of "Download"—your membership right now is at the basic level, not the sustaining one. To figure out why your order hasn't gone through, please contact our support services at support@tricycle.com or 1-800-873-9871. They'll be able to help you out. Thanks for your patience!
Best,

Why is it necessary to enter my residential address, my billing address, etc. just to download a free book especially given that I'm a member and you have all of it already?

Emma Varvaloucas's picture

We know that the format as it is now is not ideal. Our apologies—it's the best we can do at the moment. If you've already downloaded an e-book, after you click the "Download" button and are moved onto the page to fill in your information, there is a saved addresses option near the top of the page. Choose the appropriate address and your information will be filled in automatically, saving you some time.

I am an active Buddhist and very grateful for this site. I am also a well experienced with Drupal and would be happy to help you in regards to functionality on the site if you are every looking for more help.

Feel free to contact me directly if you would like to know more. Though I could add links here to my portfolio and what not, I do not want to do anything that could be viewed as spam.

In regards to the download, I can think of a few solutions that would not require the checkout process, namely just having views that have permission based fields that only display links to users that have the proper permissions.

anyway, hope this helps and thank you,
-Preston
