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.

You must recognize that your real enemy, the thief who steals your happiness, is the inner thief, the one inside your mind – the one you have cherished since beginningless time. Therefore, make the strong determination to throw him out and never to let him back in.

Today, communities of students and supporters of the universal message of loving-kindness around the world celebrate His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s 91st birthday on July 6, 2026.
The Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT) International Office joins the world in gratefully rejoicing in His Holiness’s exceptionally beneficial life, and we offer prayers for his good health and long life among us. His Holiness has been an incomparable source of reverence and guidance to the FPMT organization since its inception. Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche always reminded us that the highest priority for the FPMT is fulfilling the wishes of and offering service to His Holiness the Dalai Lama. “This is the quickest and most vast way of benefiting sentient beings,” Lama Zopa Rinpoche has explained.
You can read here the resources for practice on this special day, offered for all those wishing to make His Holiness’s birthday as beneficial as possible — a way to honor a life of unending service to others, marked with extraordinary patience that inspires us all.

Praises and Requests
“Praises and Requests to His Holiness the Dalai Lama” is a collection of praises of, comments about, and requests for His Holiness the Dalai Lama by Lama Zopa Rinpoche, found in the Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive Online Advice Book.
Prayers and Writings by His Holiness
The All-Pervasive Sphere of Great Bliss, Free of Elaboration: Requesting Activities of Palden Lhamo is a short prayer to the protector Palden Lhamo, written by His Holiness in 1973 and primarily aimed at invoking the goddess for the sake of Tibet and its people. The English translation was done by Gelong Tenzin Namjong at the request of Lama Zopa Rinpoche.
When His Holiness was nineteen years old, he composed a Chenrezig guru yoga sadhana titled The Source of All Attainments: The Yoga of the Inseparability of the Guru and Avalokiteshvara. The practice includes visualizations to inspire the development of compassion and wisdom, and is explained by Lama Yeshe in Becoming the Compassion Buddha.
The FPMT Foundation Store offers a number of books and inspirational messages of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
Online Celebration of His Holiness’s Birthday
The celebration of His Holiness’s birthday from the Shewatsel Teaching Ground in Leh, Ladakh, India has been live streamed and is available for later viewing on DalaiLama.com and YouTube. During this celebration His Holiness opening message with the auspicious prayer that he recites daily as soon as he wake up, that Je Tsongkhapa composed in the Lamrim Chenmo:
“May the Dharma be revived and spread through compassion. Wherever it has spread before and declined, may it revive; and where it has not spread in the past, may it shine forth.”
The FPMT International Office and all the Centers, Study Groups, and Projects wish His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama a very auspicious 91st birthday and sincerely request His Holiness to live for a very long time, to continue bringing his universal message of peace and compassion to the world and may His Holiness’s wishes be totally fulfilled for the benefit of all.
