The Spring 2017 issue of Buddhadharma is available now. Preview the magazine contents and sample articles below.

Buddhist Ethics in the 21st Century

The relevance, social context, and blind spots in our practice of sila today.

The Heart of This Moment

The practice of metta doesn’t require an ambition to save the world, says Christina Feldman. It just requires us to bring forth kindness one moment at a time.

How Can No-Self Be Reborn?

Ajahn Buddhadasa challenged the Buddhist establishment with his unconventional interpretation of dependent co-arising. As his student Santikaro explains, he called into question the very notion of rebirth.

The Choice Is Yours

There are two ways to understand dependent origination, teaches Ajahn Buddhadasa. Only one leads to liberation.

Forum: Buddhist Ethics in the 21st Century

Ajahn Amaro, angel Kyodo williams, Pema Khandro Rinpoche, and Noah Levine explore the relevance, social context, and blind spots in our practice of sila today. Introduction by Koun Franz.

The Path of Solidarity

Doshin Nathan Woods considers what it means to stand arm in arm as part of our Buddhist practice.

There Is No Author

When Judy Roitman learned her favorite dharma text was actually a patchwork of phrases and poems lifted from other sources, she started looking into the authorship of Buddhist texts. What she found surprised her.

Can you help us at a critical time?

COVID-19 has brought tremendous suffering, uncertainty, fear, and strain to the world.

Our sincere wish is that these Buddhist teachings, guided practices, and stories can be a balm in these difficult times. Over the past month, over 400,000 readers like you have visited our site, reading almost a million pages and streaming over 120,000 hours of video teachings. We want to provide even more Buddhist wisdom but our resources are strained. Can you help us?

No one is free from the pandemic’s impact, including Lion’s Roar. We rely significantly on advertising and newsstand sales to support our work — both of which have dropped precipitously this year. Can you lend your support to Lion’s Roar at this critical time?
