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.

Advice

Lama Zopa Rinpoche recently advised us all to have this image of Lama Atisha’s stupa in our home (and in every FPMT center, project and service). Rinpoche said: “This image is so important to protect from mental pollution.” Download it free from the FPMT Foundation Store.
Find this advice (under Holy Objects), together with a wide range of advice from Lama Zopa Rinpoche on Rinpoche’s Advice page.
New Book by Lama Zopa Rinpoche: The Four Noble Truths
The Buddha’s teachings on the four noble truths are essential to our understanding and practice of Buddhism. Lama Zopa Rinpoche provides clear instruction on this fundamental teaching in his new book The Four Noble Truths: A Guide to Everyday Life, just published by Wisdom Publications. Read an excerpt. The Four Noble Truths is available for purchase from the FPMT Foundation Store.

Lama Zopa Rinpoche had a sign placed in front of the large Amitabha statue at Buddha Amitabha Pure Land in Washington State, US. The sign read:
If you recite Amitabha’s name every day, when you die you will go to the blissful realm of Amitabha like a rocket, without any obstacle. Read in full….

Recent Requests from Lama Zopa Rinpoche
Reminders of two requests which went out recently to you via the CPMT e-group:
- Display Lama Atisha’s Stupa:
Lama Zopa Rinpoche is requesting that every FPMT center, service and project must, must have this image of the Atisha stupa (this link is to the relevant page in the Affiliates Area, please log in before clicking on it). “This is so important – every FPMT center, project or service should have this in every Gompa [teaching hall]. It can be in the gompa, office, and in any rooms where the public come in. If the center has more than one level, there should be one copy on every level.” (See image above.)
- Practices For Elea Redel:
For August and September please arrange at the centers Medicine Buddha pujas and Vajrasattva practice, dedicated for Elea Redel, a long-time student who is in a lot of pain, to immediately recover and to have a most meaningful life and to achieve enlightenment quickly for sentient beings.
The UECW Pillar of Service: 16G Study Kit
Victoria Ewart, director of the international FPMT project, FDCW, says:
“I hope each director and SPC saw my email sent to the CPMT e-group last month, introducing the new 16G Study Kit. If you didn’t get my email, or have questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch! I am keen to make it as easy as possible for you to connect with the 16 Guidelines as you work to fulfill the UECW Pillar of Service. FDCW’s brand new website gives clear information about hosting our secular courses in your center. I will email you in more detail soon about how simple it is to do so.”
FPMT World:
Rejoice!
Millions of Mani Mantras Recited
Ven Sonam, director of Rinchen Jangsem Ling, Malaysia, shares:
“We have just held our annual Mani Retreat – this year we had 318 participants and a total of 38,711,201 mantras recited.”
Fruitful Foundation Service Seminar in the USA
Participants and facilitators, July 2018.

Milarepa Center in beautiful Vermont, USA, hosted a Foundation Service Seminar Retreat last month. Twelve participants from eight centers across the United States and Canada participated for five full days of sessions on skillfully offering service within the FPMT mandala. Graduates went back to their centers inspired! Congratulations and thanks to facilitators Drolkar McCallum and Sarah Brooks!
Feedback included:
It was “so helpful in seeing the big picture – it’s really, really big!”
“I loved FSS and the mix of practice, lecture, and exercises with partners. What a joy it was to have skillful teachers and inspiring Dharma friends all working to implement Lama Zopa’s vision for the FPMT mandala.”
