Turning Wheel
A leading component of BPF’s communication approach is Turning Wheel, the journal of socially engaged Buddhism specifically and spiritual activism in general. Now in its 25th year of publication, the journal integrates social justice, including human rights issues with Buddha’s teachings of compassion and wisdom. Turning Wheel won the 2001 Utne award for general excellence among independent magazines.
