The Self in Self-Help  | Most human beings spend their lives battling with opposing inner forces: what they think they should do versus what they are doing; how they feel about themselves versus how they are; whether they think they're right and worthy or wrong and unworthy. The separate self is just the conglomeration of these opposing forces. When the self drops away, inner division drops away with it. |  | - Adyashanti, "The Taboo of Enlightenment"

Today on Tricycle | Sponsored Links | | | | Magazine: Okay As It Is, Okay As You Are  In the current issue of Tricycle, we speak with Zen teacher (and our cover woman) Merle Kodo Boyd, who grew up in Texas as part of the first generation of children to enter racially integrated schools. Boyd describes her remarkable journey from devoted member of a Texas black congregational church to founder of New Jersey's Lincroft Zen Sangha, noting that her race has been and will always be linked to her spiritual practices. "That's all my life has ever been about," she says. "Trying to make it okay to be who I am." Read the interview here.
New Original Short: A Profile of the Awake Youth Project  Part of the Brooklyn Zen Center, the Awake Youth Project (AYP) is committed to making the practice of meditation and mindfulness available to communities that may not have easy access. In our new video profile, Tricycle speaks with AYP teachers and practitioners in Brooklyn, New York about their motivations, experiences, and lessons learned. For many young participants, the AYP provides a safe environment to reflect on ones thoughts and actions, and a tool to follow on to "the positive path." Watch the video here.
