I hope this Substack gateway allows Tricycle to connect with more Buddhist communities in the U.S. and around the world, interactively. I subscribe and I often wonder why there is such a disconnect between everyone I know and what I see in both of our remaining North American Buddhist magazines. Like a glass wall. Social media accounts broadcast content from behind it, but do not interact. I can’t imagine the level of work, how many people, how much funding, it takes to produce a beautiful glossy magazine these days, so I am not unappreciative. It’s not like you can send correspondents out across the English-speaking world to interview people and hunt down news stories about contemporary Buddhist life. But, perhaps some staff or volunteers could be the names and faces of Tricycle, and personalize it. IDK.
I am a subscriber and have been for many years. I was told recently by Tricycle staff that the subscription includes access to a fully digitalized edition of Tricycle Magazine. I haven't been able do this and believe the information is incorrect. I'm disappointed because I have macular degeneration now and can only read digitalized material on my i-pad.
