The Journal of Socially Engaged Buddhism

Turning Wheel brings a sharp focus to urgent matters of peace, social justice, environmental activism, and dharma practice. Turning Wheel's fresh style and plain-speaking quality reflect the grassroots activism of BPF.

In every issue, you'll find writing that challenges the mind and speaks to the heart from some of the leading thinkers of socially engaged Buddhism. Some of our authors have included:

  • Robert Aitken
  • Joanna Macy
  • Earthlyn Manuel
  • Sulak Sivaraksa
  • Gary Snyder
  • Sandy Boucher
  • Thich Nhat Hanh
  • Robert Thurman
  • Norman Fischer
  • Susan Moon

And, because the awakened mind exists everywhere, we also regularly publish the writing of “everyday Buddhists” from many traditions and points of view.

Each issue of Turning Wheel is filled with regular features that bring together insight and action:

• Indra's Net (news and action alerts)
• Journeys in the world of Socially Engaged Buddhism

• Art and poetry

• Book reviews

Far from being a mouthpiece for any Buddhist “party line,” Turning Wheel embraces diversity and encompasses many (sometimes opposing!) points of view. It's always lively, often controversial. Our editorial policy: stretch the mind in as many directions as possible.
