Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Extremely well written
Hard to compare, since there isn't a lot of competition in the world of spiritual-inspired magazines. Tricycle stands out on it's own as a great publication. Well written articles, and a broad range of topics covered. And, my favorite bit, they don't repeat themselves every few issues.




Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - I liked it but . . .
I really liked Tricycle. I enjoyed the articles and poems and found them interesting, and informative. But the magazine really smells. Every issue exudes an unpleasant odor. I found it difficult to read the magazine because it smelled so much. I cancelled my subscription when my son refused to sit in my lap while the magazine was open.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great...where is it going?
I've enjoyed Tricycle for many years, but it does contain a lot of advertising, and I'm baffled when the publisher solicits donations to keep the magazine running. I'd rather see them fully embrace one form of revenue or the other. If they're not-for-profit, what's with all the slick ads?

Essentially, Tricycle seems to be heading towards a more self-serving model of publishing. Perhaps I simply miss the days when it was fresh and vibrant with new ideas.

Still, four stars!

And I was so excited, if that's the right word, when the new issue arrived, because two articles caught my eye.

One is titled (page 39) The Gossip Trap and should be read by most Americans. Page 40 'What are we achieving by holding up a magnifying glass instead of looking in the mirror?' Or page 111 'If speech has five marks, O monastics, it is well spoken, not badly spoken, blameless, and above reproach by the wise. What are the five marks? It is speech that is timely, true, gentle, purposeful, and spoken with a mind of loving kindness. -the Buddha (Auguttara Nikaya).

The second (page 62) is titled Growing Ground and is a serious but also humorous piece about composting toilets at ... Read More
