Tricycle Magazine - Buddha laughing: a Tricycle book of cartoons

Table of Contents ACKNOWLEDGMENTS These cartoons have been graciously contributed to Tricycle: The Buddhist Review for this volume. Over the years, many of them have appeared in the magazine, adding to a serious subject touches of levity that have been sorely needed. Yet in collection, their intelligence and wisdom reveal a salutary and unique tributary of the American Dharma stream. All proceeds of this book go to The Buddhist Ray, a not-for-profit educational organization that publishes the magazine. Tricycle wishes to thank each of the artists for their work and wit, and for their support; as well, deserving of special mention are Katharine Shields, Jayanti Tamm, and Neal Crosbie.
