The office is a place for Dharma practice. When one goes to the office, dealing with people, one has to recognize it’s a place to practice lam-rim, the three principles of the path, tantra, and the six paramitas. The six paramitas fit very well for daily life. They offer protection for you. Everything is there.
Lama Zopa Rinpoche

Longku Center Offers Special Practices for Lama Zopa Rinpoche
FPMT News Around the World
On April 30 and May 1, Longku Center in Bern, Switzerland, performed some of the special practices recommended by Rangjung Neljorma Khadro Namsel Drönme (Khadro-la) and other high lamas to support Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s health and long life. The center arranged the practices in accordance with FPMT CEO Ven. Roger’s April 24 request.
Spiritual program coordinator Regula Burri shared that students at the center “liberated 350 worms, recited the Golden Light Sutra nine times and recited the prayer of the Twenty-One Taras 108 times.”
For the animal liberation, students filled up pots with soil to make a comfy home for hundreds of worms. In the center’s gompa, trays were circumambulated around a table heaped with holy objects, mantras and texts collected by center members while students did practices for the worms.
Students and supporters of Rinpoche are encouraged to complete as many of the recommended practices as possible and report at the end of each month what has been done to director of Center Services Claire Isitt at International Office. These combined efforts will be offered to Rinpoche directly.

Ven. Freeman Trebilcock on Harmony in Diversity
FPMT News Around the World
In early December 2012, Ven. Freeman Trebilcock, a 25-year-old Australian FPMT monk and director of Loving Kindness Peaceful Youth, was interviewed on “Harmony in Diversity,” a community television program focused on the issues and activities of Melbourne’s faith communities.
In this two-part interview, Ven. Freeman speaks candidly on being young and Buddhist in Australia:
It can be quite challenging in our society to be someone from a faith such as Buddhism. I think Buddhism has a pretty good brand, generally speaking. I didn’t cop a lot of flak directly for being a Buddhist. I think for most people my age, faith doesn’t really play a big part of their life. To have someone who’s really trying to embody their spirituality as the central focus of their life is quite strange for a lot of people of my generation. For a lot of my friends, I guess I was a bit different than others.
For me, my Buddhist practice and understanding was kind of like a grounding; it really kept me on track. I think, more than anything else, I leaned on my Buddhist-ness in times of crisis, when I was struggling. All teenagers go through a lot of difficulties; it’s just a part of growing up. At those times, I was really, really glad to have this frame of reference, this amazing storehouse of Buddhist wisdom to go to, to find some useful tools to deal with things.
Ven. Freeman also spoke about Buddhist ideas on vegetarianism; the practices and texts with which he engages; Loving Kindness Peaceful Youth, the FPMT international peace organization for young people; Buddhism’s compatibility with secular society; and monasticism, among other topics.
As part of his interfaith work, Ven. Freeman participated in ABC1’s Holy Switch, a three-part television series in which six young people take up the challenge to swap religions and “live a totally different life for two weeks and in the process discover who [they] are.” The series premiers May 12.

Farewell, Dzambala
FMPT News Around the World
The Animal Liberation Sanctuary near Kopan Monastery in Nepal cares for animals rescued from slaughter by Lama Zopa Rinpoche. Mandala was sad to learn of the death of one of the sanctuary’s resident goats, Dzambala, who we have come to know through reports from the sanctuary. Dzambala’s story is an inspiring example of how much we can do for beings in the animal realm.
By Tania Duratovic and Phil Hunt
Dzambala died in March. He was one of the first goats at the Animal Liberation Sanctuary, Nepal. He was also perhaps the first goat in Nepal with an artificial limb (and not just a lump of bamboo, but a proper prosthesis.) He was one of the familiar faces that you could pick out in the crowd.
Dzambala was rescued before Lama Zopa Rinpoche announced the Animal Liberation Sanctuary project. He was there when the new land was first purchased in 2006. He was there throughout the years as the search for a larger piece of land went on and the planning for the new shelters and facilities continued. He survived the deadly peste des petits ruminants (PPR) outbreak in 2010 where half our goat population died (indeed, initially due to some confusion, Dzambala was considered to have been one of the victims!)
As a young goat, Dzambala was as cheeky as any kid. He would have mock battles with other sanctuary residents, and also more serious battles to establish the hierarchy. He was one of the more senior ranked goats.
Initially, the rescued goats only consisted of males. This is because male animals are sent to slaughter more often as they don’t produce kids or milk. One day, three female goats arrived: Tsering, Sangmo and Jampa. We were not quite sure where they came from, and by the time we found out, they were pregnant. Dzambala and Tsering became close friends. Rigzin, who is the “boss” goat, was also after Tsering. But Tsering preferred Dzambala’s company most of the time. The three of them were often found sitting together enjoying the sunshine.
When taking the goats around Geshe Lama Konchog’s stupa at Kopan, we knew that if we took Tsering up, Rigzin would follow, and hence the others too. And if Dzambala was there, Tsering would go too. But Dzambala would often just take himself around. He obviously realized the importance of holy objects! (more…)

Special Long Life Puja Offered to Lama Zopa Rinpoche
FPMT News Around the World
Senior monks and nuns of Kopan Monastery in Nepal recently requested FPMT spiritual director Lama Zopa Rinpoche to accept a special long life puja, out of concern for Rinpoche’s health and in support of other pujas that are being organized. The special long life puja was offered the morning of Monday, April 29. Rangjung Neljorma Khadro Namsel Drönme (Khadro-la) attended the puja and made offerings to Rinpoche.
Ven. Roger Kunsang, FPMT CEO and assistant to Rinpoche, shared more about what happened at the monastery: “Kopan Monastery and Nunnery have taken on to do a lot of the pujas throughout the year for Rinpoche’s good health and long life, [and they are also] regularly saving each month a few goats from the butchers and fish. Some of the pujas, like Tugchuma, will be done daily for the rest of the year.”
Lama Zopa Rinpoche will be traveling to the United States where next week he will welcome His Holiness the Dalai Lama in FPMT International Office in Portland, Oregon.

FPMT Makes Offering to Tashi Lhunpo Health Care Centre
FPMT News Around the World
Two FPMT charitable projects – the Lama Zopa Rinpoche Bodhichitta Fund and the Tibetan Health Services Project – donated US$5,677 (300,000 Rs) towards the Tashi Lhunpo Health Care Centre in Bylakuppe Tibetan Settlement in South India in February. Founded by Ven. Guge Kachen Lobsang Dhondup with the help of generous Taiwanese donors, the healthcare center has been working to provide quality healthcare to resident monks, visitors, and local Tibetans and Indians since 1992. Lama Zopa Rinpoche was inspired by their work and asked for this donation to be made.
Currently, Tashi Lhunpo Health Care Centre has one doctor in residence and organizes a doctor of Tibetan medicine and an allopathic doctor to visit weekly. In addition to the services provided by staff, the center organizes and covers the costs of visits to outside hospitals during emergencies and for medical conditions requiring intensive treatment, an expenditure which is sometimes over 30 percent of their annual income.
In the future, the center hopes to build consultation rooms and dispensaries for both Tibetan and Western medicine; increase incentives and compensation for visiting doctors and staff; provide medical aid to monks with physical and mental challenges; and continue to cover the costs associated with outside hospital visits.
Tashi Lhunpo Monstery is the seat of the Panchen Lama and was reestablished in 1972 in South India after the Chinese occupation by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, His Holiness the 10th Panchen Lama and His Holiness Trijang Rinpoche. The current 11th Panchen Lama, as recognized by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, is Gedun Choekyi Nyima, who in 1995 was taken into custody by the Chinese government at age 6 and has not been seen publically since.
FPMT students and supporters can support health-related projects through the Tibetan Health Services Project, managed by FPMT Charitable Projects.

Prayers You Can Do for Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s Health
FPMT News Around the World
On April 18, Lama Zopa Rinpoche, Rangjung Neljorma Khadro Namsel Drönme (Khadro-la) and others visited Boudhanath Stupa in Kathmandu to make special prayers for world peace. For the event, Rinpoche assembled a collection of prayers specifically to stop wars, prevent natural disasters, and to reduce self-cherishing.
While Rinpoche and Khadro-la were making prayers for living beings everywhere, Rinpoche’s assistant and FPMT International Office CEO Ven. Roger Kusang was busy gathering and organizing the extensive details of the prayers and practices students and supporters could engage in to contribute to Rinpoche’s long and healthy life. Ven. Roger writes:
At the beginning of every year I usually check with one or two high lamas if there are any prayers or pujas we need to do to remove obstacles for Rinpoche’s health and long life. This year I have received the advice to do many prayers and pujas … Khadro-la is advising FPMT centers, projects, services and students to also help. I would like to support Khadro-la’s request for students and centers to do the following as much as you can so that we can continue to have Rinpoche with us for a very long time to come.
Khadro-la specifically mentioned the following: “as much as possible if FPMT centers and students can please do”: liberate many animals; hang Tendil Nyersel prayer flags in all FPMT centers, projects and services; recite Most Secret Hayagriva mantra; and offer long life pujas to Rinpoche with the five dakinis.
Khadro-la [also] said that “the most important is good samaya from the students’ side. Whoever is doing the puja, prayers or practice, it should be done well, with good motivation and meditation.”
The full list pujas and practices to do can be found on Rinpoche’s Health – Official Updates and Practices. Also, students can find a complete list of extensive practices being done by Kopan Monastery, Sera Je Monastery, Ganden Shartse Monastery, Jangchup Choling Nunnery, Kopan Nunnery and Ganden Jangtse Samlo Kamtsen.
