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.

Without understanding how your inner nature evolves, how can you possibly discover eternal happiness? Where is eternal happiness? It’s not in the sky or in the jungle; you won’t find it in the air or under the ground. Everlasting happiness is within you, within your psyche, your consciousness, your mind. That’s why it’s important that you investigate the nature of your own mind.

Two new cycles of theFPMT Masters Program, our most advanced FPMT Education Program, will begin in 2023 and 2024 with residential and online options. The in-depth program is being offered at both Nalanda Monastery in France and Istituto Lama Tzong Khapa in Italy. The opportunity to study the complete FPMT Masters Program (MP) happens once a decade. Students interested in deepening their knowledge and practice of Buddhism are encouraged to explore enrolling in the next MP now.
Istituto Lama Tzong Khapa, in the beautiful Tuscany region of Italy, has decades of experience in developing and implementing the program and will host its fourth FPMT Masters Program, starting in February 2023. Lharampa Geshe Jampa Gelek is an experienced MP teacher. He is appreciated for the great depth and detail of his presentations and for his ability to enrich his teachings with an extensive knowledge of multiple commentaries. The program is being offered in English, Italian, and Spanish, and has residential and online options. Learn more.
Nalanda Monastery in the South of France invites students to join their second FPMT Masters Program, beginning in January 2024. Nalanda Monastery is one of the largest Tibetan Buddhist monasteries in the West and offers Westerner lay and ordained students a unique opportunity to deepen their understanding and practice of Buddhism in a monastic environment. Lharampa Geshe Gyaltsen, who has been teaching at Nalanda since 2014, will teach the MP. Geshe Gyaltsen is widely admired by students for his deep and clear explanations. The program will be offered in English and French, and has residential and online options. Learn more.
About the FPMT Masters Program
The FPMT Masters Program comprises six years of full-time study—combining a comprehensive curriculum with practice, training, service, and month-long retreats—and the integrating experience of a year-long lamrim retreat. This program profoundly deepens students’ Dharma knowledge and understanding. Graduates are confident and qualified to become teachers, and will go on to enrich the programs and courses offered in FPMT centers.
FPMT founder Lama Yeshe had the original vision for the FPMT Masters Program. Geshe Jampa Gyatso, who taught the first MP at Istituto Lama Tzong Khapa, told Mandala magazine, “Lama Yeshe’s aim, his wish in setting up this program, was to enable people to study and come to a deeper understanding of the Buddhist teachings, both the vast and profound, as well as sutra and tantra, so that they could then teach other people. His purpose was also to enable each person to develop his or her inner qualities, such as perfect love and compassion, to complete the six perfections, and to achieve final enlightenment. In this way they would be able to help other sentient beings by leading them from cyclic existence to the great city of enlightenment.”
FPMT centers are asked to assist and encourage interested students to join the FPMT Masters Program, the actualization of Lama Yeshe’s unique vision for FPMT education. For those who enjoy in-depth study and practice, this is a not to be missed, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Through comprehensive study programs, practice materials, and training seminars, FPMT Education nourishes the development of compassion, wisdom, kindness, and true happiness in individuals of all ages.
In Buddhism, we are not particularly interested in the quest for intellectual knowledge alone. We are much more interested in understanding what’s happening here and now, in comprehending our present experience, what we are at this very moment, our fundamental nature.
