The Shambhala Sun, the most widely read Buddhist-based magazine in North America, and Buddhadharma: the Practitioner's Quarterly, an in-depth journal of Buddhist teachings, are now published by the Shambhala Sun Foundation--an independent non-profit operating in the United States and Canada. The Shambhala Sun Foundation has a deep commitment to presenting the perspectives of all genuine Buddhist traditions through its publications and other ventures.
