We’d like to let you know about an important transition here at Lion’s Roar. Our longtime editor-in-chief, Melvin McLeod, has stepped down from his position to become editor at large. Now leading our editorial department are Andrea Miller, editor of Lion’s Roar magazine; Rod Meade Sperry, senior editor, special projects and Buddhadharma; and Lilly Greenblatt, editor of Lionsroar.com. Publisher Ben Moore is now the president of the Lion’s Roar Foundation.
Since becoming editor of the then Vajradhatu Sun in 1992, Melvin has led our growth from a small community publication to the largest Buddhist media voice in the English language, offering the wisdom of all Buddhist traditions to benefit people’s lives and our society and to support the development of Buddhism in the modern world.
In his new role as editor-at-large, Melvin will continue to produce written and video content reflecting his deep commitment to the benefit of Buddhist teachings and practice. He is excited that next year Shambhala Publications will publish his new book, With a Single Breath: The Complete Path of Mindfulness. It will present a new framework to deepen and expand the benefits of mindfulness practice and suggest the next step forward in the historic development of the mainstream mindfulness movement.
