What is the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition?
Die Gesellschaft zur Erhaltung der Mahayana Tradition (FPMT) ist eine weltweite Organisation, die sich der Verbreitung des Mahayana-Buddhismus widmet. Sie schafft Voraussetzungen, damit Menschen die fehlerlosen Unterweisungen des Buddha hören, über sie nachdenken und meditieren, sie praktizieren und verwirklichen können; auf der Basis dieser Erfahrungen trägt sie zur Verbreitung des Dharma unter den fühlenden Wesen bei.
Inspiriert von einer inneren Haltung der universellen Verantwortung und des Dienstes am Nächsten bietet sie ganzheitliche Bildung an, durch die Geist und Herz der Menschen in ihr höchstes Potenzial verwandelt werden können, zum Wohle der anderen. Sie strebt die Entwicklung friedvoller Gemeinschaften an und möchte allen Wesen helfen, ihr Potenzial für grenzenlose Weisheit und grenzenloses Mitgefühl zu verwirklichen. Unsere Organisation basiert auf der buddhistischen Überlieferungslinie des Lama Tsongkhapa aus Tibet, wie sie von unserem Gründer Lama Thubten Yeshe, und unserem spirituellen Leiter, Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche, gelehrt wird.
La Fundación para la preservación de la tradición Mahayana (FPMT) se dedica a la transmisión de la tradición y valores budistas mahayana en todo el mundo a través de enseñanzas de budismo tibetano, meditación, servicio a la comunidad, centros de retiro y proyectos que preservan la tradición. La FPMT está basada en la tradición guelugpa de Lama Tsong Khapa del Tíbet, tal como nos han enseñado nuestro fundador, Lama Thubten Yeshe, y nuestro director espiritual, Lama Zopa Rimpoché.
