Tricycle provides a uniquely independent public forum for exploring contemporary and traditional Buddhist ideas and their integration with Western disciplines, a home for Buddhists of different traditions to come together, and an accessible voice in the dialogue between Buddhism and the broader culture. In both design and content the magazine presents a fresh, lively, and non-dogmatic approach to daily-life issues and attracts readers from every walk of life. It continues to be the most inclusive vehicle for the dissemination of Buddhist views in the West and remains central to the activities of the Tricycle Foundation.
