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.

No tener reglas lo hace posible
La vida en el camino con Rimpoche
Traducido por Hilda Luisa Díaz-Perera
Dharamsala, India — el 2 de abril, 2012
De Ven. Roger:
Está muy oscuro. Hay una fuerte tormenta con ráfagas de viento y el camino es estrecho con espacio para que pase un sólo vehículo a la vez. El camino sigue el borde de un precipicio con una caída de al menos 1000 pies [305 metros] por un lado – te da vértigo mirar hacia abajo. El camino está en mal estado: a veces sólo gravilla y piedra, con demasiados huecos que batuquean el carro. Viene un camión directamente hacia nosotros en sentido contrario tocando la bocina con insistencia. (Los camiones en la India son grandes y pesados y frecuentemente se mantienen en una pieza amarrados con maderos. En realidad son grandes pedazos de chatarra sobre ruedas de llantas con poca o ninguna banda de rodamiento.) No tengo hacia dónde maniobrar (soy yo quien conduce) y no puedo calcular cómo evadir esta pila de desperdicios de metal sobre ruedas que se mueve como un cangrejo. Los caminos son tan estrechos que cuando aparece un vehículo en contravía, uno tiene que buscar rápidamente por dónde el camino es un poco más ancho para poder pasar los dos al mismo tiempo, sino uno de los dos debe parar y retroceder. Y aun así, podría ser largo el tramo, y podrías encontrarte otro carro detrás de ti que viene tocando la bocina y detrás, otro carro que viene tocando su bocina con apremio. En realidad los conductores en la India manejan con una sola mano en el manubrio y la otra sobre la bocina. De todas formas, logro con suerte encontrar un lugar por donde ambos podemos pasar y continuamos envueltos en una total oscuridad. El viaje es de 12 hora así es que debes mantenerte alerta todo el tiempo, digo, ¡bien alerta!
Todo el mundo tiene el derecho de vía en las carreteras y esto confunde, todo el mundo piensa que es dueño del camino que es el caso también de los peatones, las vacas, los perros y los burros … algo más temprano ese día nos encontramos con un tipo hablando por teléfono quien hacía rodar con sus pies un botellón de gas por el medio del camino y perdió el control que no pareció ser un problema para él ya que siguió hablando por teléfono a medida que el botellón de gas iba cobrando más velocidad y ¡venía directamente hacia nosotros! Lo esquivamos y todo bien como suele suceder en las carreteras de la India ya que no existen reglas así es que no hay nadie haciendo algo incorrecto así es que está bien … Me gusta sin reglas, pero me cuesta pasar en curvas ciegas, que es común. (Me pareció apropiado no poner puntos al describir las carreteras aquí.) (more…)

To Wear Pain Like an Ornament
Elea Redel discusses in “To Wear Pain Like an Ornament” how she learned from Lama Zopa Rinpoche to bring chronic pain and illness on the path. “Lama Zopa once told me that I should make my sickness my ornament,” Elea shares, “and that ornament represents the suffering of all sentient beings. So using my sickness like this is my job.”
From Mandala April 1990.

FPMT News Around the World
It is with sadness that we share the news of Gunjiimaa Ganbat passing away. After struggling with a very difficult to treat form of drug-resistant tuberculosis, Gunjiimaa died in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, on April 1, 2012. Gunjiimaa made significant contributions to the development of FPMT Mongolia, including serving as an FPMT Mongolia translator, as Ven. Thubten Gyatso’s (Adrian Feldmann) Mongolian translator and as the previous director of the FPMT center in Ulaanbaatar, Ganden Do Ngag Shedrup Ling, founded in 2000.
“Gunjii,” as she was fondly known, was also the driving force in connecting MK Sen, current CEO of FPMT Mongolia, with several parties able to offer the help and assistance needed for Rinpoche’s priority projects in Mongolia. Gunjii was part of the special team overseeing these projects. Her immense personal contributions to ensure the success of each project will remain as testimony of her faith and devotion to her guru, Lama Zopa Rinpoche. As MK puts it, “Gunjii will be irreplaceable and a great loss to FPMT Mongolia. We pray for her blessed rebirth.”
Lama Zopa Rinpoche was reached very soon after Gunjiimaa’s death and was able to give advice to those near her. Rinpoche also immediately did Vajrayogini powa and other prayers and then requested Khadro-la to also do the necessary prayers and practice for Gunjiimaa.
***
When reading an obituary or an announcement of death in Mandala, Lama Zopa Rinpoche advises that students make prayers for the recently deceased that they “find a perfect human body, meet a Mahayana guru and become enlightened quickly, or be born in a pure land where the teachings exist and they can become enlightened.”
Advice and practices for sickness and death can be found on Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s advice page and at the Foundation Store.

Postcard 20 from Robina: Stradbroke Island, Australia
A new Postcard from Robina, Ven. Robina Courtin’s blog about her travels and teachings around the world. “A month has passed since I was at Maitripa in Portland. It’s Tuesday March 6 and I’m in tropical Queensland, settling in for a month’s editing retreat. Kathleen Surawski has kindly offered me her house: a raised wooden structure with a deck, on a cliff overlooking the ocean at Point Lookout, on the tip of Stradbroke Island, just off the main coast, 20 miles east of Brisbane.”
