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.

Approaching enlightenment is a gradual process, but once you attain it, there’s no going back; when you reach the fully awakened state of mind, the moment you experience that, you remain enlightened forever.

New Issue of Mandala Magazine!
|
In Mandala January-June 2018, just published, we explore what Buddhism offers the world in times of global difficulties to help pacify suffering and bring about peace.
In this issue, His Holiness the Dalai Lama encourages Buddhists to share the wisdom and thinking of the Buddha and the Nalanda masters in secular ways; the Foundation for Developing Compassion and Wisdom offers snapshots of its activities around the world; and several FPMT centers, projects, and services share their approaches to being compassionate world citizens. We also take an in-depth look at the Inner Job Description, a mindfulness practice tool designed to help those offering service or working in any job transform their efforts into profound, powerful Dharma practice. Plus, teachings from Lama Yeshe, Lama Zopa Rinpoche, new photos, interviews, and much more!
Become of Friend of FPMT to receive Mandala, or find it at the Foundation Store.

The Social Services Fund offers over US$73,000 annually to schools providing education to children of Tibetan, Nepali, Sherpa, and Indian heritage. The grants cover daily food for operating expenses for over 500 children. We invite you to rejoice in this incredible offering that is providing substantial and meaningful help to the next generation. You can read more about this work to support schools.
