“Buddhadharma: The Practitioner’s Quarterly” is an excellent magazine for practitioners of all types of Buddhism and should have been on this list, ahead of the Zen one, for sure.
Thanks, The list was not ours, it was Feedspots, but I think they meant to capture that under Lion’s Roar, which is the URL for Buddhadharma? https://www.lionsroar.com/buddhadharma/
I do agree, Buddhadharma is a superb journal!
