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.

The Sera Je Food Fund: Rejoicing and Thanks from Lama Zopa Rinpoche
|
Lama Zopa Rinpoche recorded a personal thank you for those who made it possible to offer food to all the monks at Sera Je Monastery for the last twenty-seven years, and enabled FPMT to offer a significant endowment fund to the monastery whereby the interest covers the annual costs of providing three nutritious meals daily to all the monks. Rinpoche’s message covers many aspects of why offering food to Sangha is so beneficial and meritorious. We bring you an edited transcript of this precious teaching.
We also bring you an extensive article, “Sustaining the Pure Unbroken Lineage of Buddha’s Teachings in This World: The Legacy of the Sera Je Food Fund,” which is an in-depth look at the accomplishments and historical context of the Sera Je Fund since its inception. You can view this article in eZine or PDF format.
Please join us in rejoicing in this incredible offering! Our heartfelt thanks to all who have supported this project over the years, we could not have done this without your kindness.
