Mandala’s weekly Community News blog posts share stories from the international community of FPMT centers, projects, services, and study groups, and updates on His Holiness the Dalai Lama, FPMT spiritual director Lama Zopa Rinpoche, and other FPMT lamas and teachers.
Mandala staff welcome story submissions from FPMT centers, projects, services, study groups, and FPMT registered teachers for publication on the FPMT blog.
Story submission guidelines:
- Stories should be submitted to Mandala staff by a staff member or volunteer authorized to engage in publicity activities on the center, project, service, or study group’s behalf.
