We’re Grateful for You

As the year draws to a close, we’d like to express our gratitude to everyone who helps sustain Tricycle. This shared space of Buddhist learning and community would not be what it is without you—our generous readers who make our work possible.

Thanks to you, 2025 has been a year of incredible growth and connection. Here are some of the ways your contributions have fueled our mission:

Brand-new Tricycle Substack: We’ve just launched a Substack to offer a space for Buddhist community and conversation.
Buddhism for Beginners: We’ve revamped our free platform for those new to the dharma.
Daily Dharma app: We continue to develop our app, including free audio meditations, event listings, and more.
Tricycle online course scholarships: Over 150 issued in 2025
Meditation Group: Over 2,000 participants have signed up for our weekly virtual sangha.

If you’ve felt supported by the Tricycle community this year, please consider making a donation. Anyone who donates $30 or more will receive a free video teaching on the practice of equanimity.

Your support helps nourish a community dedicated to waking up together. Thank you.
