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.

Dhakpa Tulku Rinpoche Passes Away
We are sad to announce that on February 13, 2016, Dhakpa Tulku Rinpoche passed away peacefully while in meditation at his residence in Kalimpong, India. Dhakpa Rinpoche was one of Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s gurus, was an FPMT touring lama, and had given Lama Zopa Rinpoche many oral transmissions over the years. He will be greatly missed.
Dhakpa Rinpoche was born in 1926 in Kongpo, Tibet and later recognized by His Holiness the 13th Dalai Lama as the reincarnation of the 49th Ganden Tripa Lobsang Dhargye Rinpoche, who was the head of the Gelug school from 1708 to 1715. He studied in Tibet eventually earning his Geshe Lharampa degree at the age of 26 and completing further studies in tantra. When the Chinese communists invaded Tibet in 1959, Rinpoche fled to India.
In 1962, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama appointed Rinpoche as the abbot of Sera Me Monastery, the first abbot of the Sera Me in exile. Rinpoche served as abbot for three years, but left the monastery and went to Kalimpong for medical treatment.
Until 1990, Rinpoche led a very quiet life in Kalimpong and spent much of his time in retreat and meditation. Although Rinpoche was one of the most precious and valuable spiritual teachers living in India, due to his humble nature, he was little known outside the area. However, he was in fact one of the very rare teachers holding teachings from the most valuable and precious secret lineages from Pabongka Rinpoche and many other highly realized lamas in Tibet.
Throughout his life Rinpoche actively sought out teachings from spiritual masters from other Tibetan Buddhist traditions, adding to the richness of his understanding and own teachings. Rinpoche was requested to pass on all those teachings and other tantric initiations to the young rinpoches at Sera Me, which he did for three months every winter. His Holiness the Dalai Lama praised Dhakpa Rinpoche for his dedication to his practices and the generosity of his teachings.
Mandala will have a complete obituary for Dhakpa Tulku Rinpoche in the July-December 2016 issue.
