      • Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition

        The FPMT is an organization devoted to preserving and spreading Mahayana Buddhism worldwide by creating opportunities to listen, reflect, meditate, practice and actualize the unmistaken teachings of the Buddha and based on that experience spreading the Dharma to sentient beings. We provide integrated education through which people’s minds and hearts can be transformed into their highest potential for the benefit of others, inspired by an attitude of universal responsibility and service. We are committed to creating harmonious environments and helping all beings develop their full potential of infinite wisdom and compassion. Our organization is based on the Buddhist tradition of Lama Tsongkhapa of Tibet as taught to us by our founders Lama Thubten Yeshe and Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche.

clean up

Monks participating in the daily clean up at Sera Je Monastery.

Starting at 4 a.m. every morning, on-duty cooks start the work of preparing breakfast for 2,500. These cooks are monks studying at Sera Je Monastery who also benefit daily from the three nutritious meals offered by the Sera Je Food Fund. Each day, between 50-70 monks are assigned kitchen work. Breakfast is served at 6:30 a.m. and after clean-up, lunch preparations begin. Lunch is served at 10:30 a.m. and dinner at 5:00 p.m. Promptly at 6 p.m. the kitchen is thoroughly cleaned to ensure that the food program is operating in the most hygienic way possible.

The work and enthusiasm put into making this program a success is astounding: Truly this is an example of community in action, a collective effort that is beneficial to all involved.

To help illustrate the scale of what is offered, and thus, prepared, here is a list of some of the food and cooking items used in June of this year:

  • 19,600 bananas were offered
    Huge cooking pots are required.

    Monks working together to prepare food for 2,500.

  • 5,736 pounds of rice and 3,329 pounds of dahl were prepared
  • 10,968 pounds of baking powder and flour were incorporated into recipes
  • 1,987 bundles of green vegetables and 5,840 pounds of combined other vegetables were served
  • 89 bottles of soy sauce were utilized
  • 3,796 cups of cooking oil and 86 gas cylinders were needed

You may join in this colossal effort to offer three nutritious meals every day to the 2,500 monks studying at Sera Je Monastery.

Vegetarian savory puffs.

A giant batch of delicious vegetarian puffs were prepared for 2,500 monks as a test for a possible new addition to the regular rotation of menu items offered every day to the monks of Sera Je Monastery through the Sera Je Food Fund.

The puffs were stuffed with green beans, cheese and white noodles. The monks enjoyed this addition very much!

To see the amazing food offered every day to the monks of Sera Je Monastery visit photo galleries of seven days of breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Dhakpo Khangtsen in much need of renovations.


June
2013: Lama Zopa Rinpoche Bodhichitta Fund was very happy to offer US$21,058 to Sera Je Dhakpo Khangtsen for the building of new rooms for the monks. Dhakpo Khangtsen remains one of the poorest Khangtsens (houses) at Sera Je Monastery. It does not have its own Gompa and the monks living there do not have adequate rooms, kitchen, toilet and bathroom facilities. This donation will go toward new rooms for the monks and will help with some much needed renovation.
