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.

Lama Zopa Rinpoche on the Definition of ‘Holiday’

|
Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s definition of “holiday” is:
- The mind abiding in correctly following the virtuous friend.
- The mind abiding in renunciation of samsara.
- The mind abiding in bodhichitta.
- The mind abiding in emptiness.
- The mind abiding in tantra path – the two stages.
- The completion of your holiday is when you cease all the obscurations and complete all the realizations.

“The fourth limb of the seven-limb practice is rejoicing. This is a very important practice and we should do it each day as many times as possible. It is the easiest way to accumulate merit,” Lama Zopa Rinpoche explains in the Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive Eletter for May 2016. “By doing this practice we can accumulate merit as infinite as space. Rejoicing increases merit, like investing $100 and then constantly receiving interest until we have thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands and then millions of dollars.” Read in full …

Each year on Chokhor Duchen, which commemorates Lord Buddha’s first teaching, and which fell on August 6 this year, the Puja Fund sponsors pujas and offerings all over the world dedicated to the success of the entire FPMT organization.
The practices are offered by up to 15,650 monks and nuns and this year included the recitation of the short, medium and long versions of the Prajñaparamita and the entire Kangyur. Extensive offerings were presented to Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s gurus and holy objects in India and Tibet.
We invite you to read more and rejoice with us in all of the pujas, practices, and prayers Lama Zopa Rinpoche advises sponsoring on this special holy day.
New Materials from Education Services
We are pleased to announce revised and updated versions of four essential FPMT materials:
- FPMT Retreat Prayer Book
- Lama Tsongkhapa Guru Yoga
- Ngulchu Dharmabhadra’s Thirty-Five Buddhas practice
- The Method to Transform a Suffering Life into Happiness
Earlier this year, Rangjung Neljorma Khadro Namsel Drönme (Khadro-la) spontaneously composed a long life prayer for Lama Zopa Rinpoche. We are happy to make this prayer available in several languages, including the newly added Chinese version.
