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.

Our grabbing ego made this body manifest, come out. However, instead of looking at it negatively, we should regard it as precious. We know that our body is complicated, but from the Dharma point of view, instead of putting ourselves down with self-pity, we should appreciate and take advantage of it. We should use it in a good way.
Lama Thubten Yeshe

In April 2019 His Eminence the 7th Kyabje Ling Rinpoche made a first visit to the UK. The visit included nearly a week in London followed by two days in Leeds, where Rinpoche participated in the opening of FPMT center Jamyang Buddhist Center Leeds’ new location. Jamyang Buddhist Centre London and Jamyang Buddhist Centre Leeds share the story.
H.E. Ling Rinpoche and Rinpoche’s attendants Ven. Tenzin Khentse and Geshe Lobsang Yonten arrived in London on Saturday evening, April 20, 2019, after an eventful day of travel delays coming from Valencia, Spain. They were met by members of the Office of Tibet; the nonprofit Tibetan Community UK; and representatives of FPMT UK and Jamyang London. Representing FPMT UK was Jay Simpson, the FPMT UK National Coordinator, and representing Jamyang London were Jamyang board member Jan Andresen and the organizer of the London part of the tour, Jackie Yip.
Rinpoche’s visit to London was jointly organized by the Office of Tibet; Tibetan Community UK; Tibet House Trust; and Jamyang London. For us this was the first “big” visit we had organized on a shared basis, so it was a massive learning curve.
On Sunday H.E. Ling Rinpoche spent all day with our friends in the local Tibetan community and the Office of Tibet, who put on a delightful day of activities, including a visit to the Tibetan Peace Garden to bless and re-energize the place.
Monday morning, April 22, saw our main event when Rinpoche offered a White Tara long life initiation to around seven hundred people in the Kensington Conference Centre in the center of London. The Jamyang volunteers and our Tibetan friends worked so hard to set up the place, but the crowning glory was the loving presence of Rinpoche holding the space as Rinpoche offered us the opportunity to break free and discover our Buddha potential. In the afternoon Rinpoche gave a general talk to around three hundred people in the same space but in a far more informal setting.
Geshe Kelsang Wangmo kindly translated Rinpoche’s talks into English throughout the whole UK tour. With her animated and engaging delivery, we were both delighted by her clean, clear, and warm presentation of Rinpoche’s words and slightly sad that her role as German translator for His Holiness the Dalai Lama makes opportunities for her to teach in Europe so rare, while also rejoicing in the good fortune of the German students in having such a fine translator practitioner.
On Tuesday evening, April 23, Rinpoche gave a warm and personal talk to a small group of students at one of London’s major Nyingma centers, Rigpa. On Wednesday Rinpoche visited Jamyang Center and taught the great Sakya master Sachen Kunga Nyingpo’s short text Parting from the Four Attachments to about 140 students. The text is only four lines long, but the way Rinpoche taught it seemed to cover every aspect of the path to enlightenment. At the end there was a precious opportunity to offer khatas in person to Rinpoche.
Rinpoche then toured Jamyang Centre and was fascinated to know which images and more were still there from the time of Geshe Namgyal Wangchen, our first resident teacher, who was appointed by Lama Thubten Yeshe. When Geshe Wangchen went back to Drepung Loseling, he became a tutor to some of the most significant incarnate lamas of the monastery, including becoming senior tutor to H.E. Ling Rinpoche himself. Rinpoche said that Rinpoche felt a particular warm connection to the London center because of this link.
On Friday, April 26, we waved Rinpoche off on the train to Leeds for the opening of our sister center there, Jamyang Buddhist Centre Leeds.
Auspicious beginnings at the new home of Jamyang Buddhist Centre Leeds, as our first event was welcoming H.E. Ling Rinpoche to the new building for a weekend of teachings, blessings, and initiation.
The opening day began with Rinpoche meeting the Tibetan/Himalayan community from across the North of England at a special event in the morning. Rinpoche offered advice about practice and preserving culture, and enjoyed some cake and food specially prepared for the event by the Tibetans.
We then held some opening speeches from center director Kerry Prest, patron David Lascelles, and others, plus a specially recorded video message from long-time UK teacher and supporter of Jamyang Leeds Geshe Tashi Tsering.
Rinpoche then blessed the center and its gompa, before commencing a public talk on “Developing a Peaceful Mind in a Turbulent World.” In the late afternoon Rinpoche began teaching from master Shantideva’s text Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life, Chapter 1.
The following day Rinpoche continued the text, and during lunch we took Rinpoche on a tour of the rest of the building, most of which still needs to be renovated. (We’re only using about fifteen percent of the space at present!) Rinpoche’s exact words were “Wow.”
Rinpoche then finished the visit to our center visit with a Chenrezig initiation, which was a wonderfully auspicious way to start the new activities in our new home, thinking about compassion for others, with as many arms as possible!
We give huge thanks to all who made this event a success: volunteers, staff, donors, members, trustees, local residents, contractors, and teachers; the list of people to thank is massive. We were especially blessed to welcome Geshe Kelsang Wangmo as the translator of the event in her visit to Leeds; we hope she’ll visit us again. A wonderful beginning of a new chapter for Jamyang Leeds.
