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.

In the newly available, Emptiness Explained: A Teaching on The Heart Sutra, Rinpoche not only teaches on the root cause of our sufferings, but skillfully guides us, step by step, on a profound meditation on emptiness, from identifying the object to be refuted (how things appear to our hallucinating minds) to generating an awareness of how everything is totally empty; conventionally, dependent arising.
How correctly devoting to the virtuous friend in thought and action matters to realizing emptiness is also explained. It comes together with listening, teaching and meditating on emptiness as a highly potent means to gather the supporting conditions for attaining wisdom. Encouragingly, Rinpoche assures us that when the conditions are there and the mind is ready, even just “a few words can suddenly click in your mind. It’s like you’ve woken up from sleep.”
Students familiar with the subject may yet acquire new insights from Rinpoche’s unusual clarification of some of the subtler points concerning the relationship between the ultimate nature of all phenomena and their conventional reality; and what would be the direct experience of the emptiness of an object.
Outstandingly practical, Rinpoche’s teaching also addresses some of the obstructive experiences that meditators may encounter, such as the fear of losing the “I” and the anxiety over falling into the extreme of nihilism.
This booklet is excerpted from Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s teachings on The Heart Sutra at Tara Institute, Melbourne, Australia, March 2000; edited and reviewed by Ven. Ailsa Cameron and Ven. Joan Nicell, 2024.
