CURRENT ISSUE
Winter 2020Volume 30,Number 2
As uncertainty and distress escalate amid social, political, and environmental unraveling and on the brink of a US presidential election, it can be hard not to get caught up in the times. But as Editor-and-Publisher James Shaheen writes in this issue’s editorial (“A Time for Eternities”), we must do our best to ground our experience of such day-to-day turbulence in the spiritual truths that endure. In “Living in a World That No Longer Exists,” social critic Curtis White ruminates on the changed shape of cultural artifacts he previously thought to have vanished; pop music icon Tina Turner reflects on the Buddhist teachings and practices that made her indestructibly strong throughout her adult life; and Insight Meditation teacher Tuere Sala talks about racial justice in the context of her time as a Buddhist prosecuting attorney. And because patience can’t be valued enough, Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche expounds on this pillar of Buddhist practice in the Dharma Talk “The Path ofPatience.”

Amid the craziness of this year, some Buddhists are returning to the classics to ground themselves and their practice. One such classic is the 8th-century Indian philosopher Shantideva’s _The Way of the Bodhisattva_, whose sixth chapter gets new treatment in Dzigar Kongtrul’s new book, _Peaceful Heart: The Buddhist Practice ofPatience_ .
In this episode of _Tricycle Talks_, Tricycle’s Editor and Publisher James Shaheen sits down with Kongtrul Rinpoche to discuss turning inward to steady oneself for the world, using humor to combat hurt feelings, and how patience is not passivity. Kongtrul Rinpoche is the founder of Mangala Shri Bhuti , an organization in the Longchen Nyingtik lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. He’s also the author of eight books, including _Training in Tenderness: Buddhist Teachings on Tsewa__. _
