These days, it’s a victory to have an exchange longer than 140 characters, let alone a thoughtful and engaging conversation. With our newest e-book, Conversations: Volume 1, Tricycle is happily reminding you that these conversations do exist. Conversations is full of the best back-and-forths between the leading voices in contemporary Buddhism from our archives—spanning over two decades—including thoughts from the Dalai Lama on his daily routine; Pema Chödrön on Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche; and the actor Jeff Bridges on handling anxiety.
