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.

Basically, the human mind is mostly unconscious, ignorant, and gets so preoccupied with new experiences, that it forgets the old ones. Review the past month: exactly what happened, precisely what feelings did you have, every day? You can’t remember, can you? But if you practice this slowly, slowly, continuously checking within your mind, eventually, you’ll be able to remember more and more of your previous experiences.
Lama Thubten Yeshe

‘We Must Respect Other Religions’
“[It would be good] for the centers to arrange regular interfaith dialogues with religious leaders in their local community,” encouraged Lama Zopa Rinpoche when he developed his Vast Visions for FPMT, noting that this is one way FPMT can offer service to His Holiness the Dalai Lama and support his aims.

Honor Lama Yeshe by Offering Lama Chöpa
A reminder to please offer Lama Chöpa with tsog on Tibetan New Year (Losar). This year, Losar is on February 27, 2017. Rinpoche advises that FPMT centers should offer extensive Lama Chöpa with tsog on this day each year to honor the anniversary of Lama Yeshe’s passing away. Rinpoche added that it is good to do this at the time Lama Yeshe passed away, which was at 5 a.m. (on Losar in 1984). Rinpoche emphasized the importance and benefits in offering tsog on that occasion each year. Find more on this in the Affiliates Area …

There’s nothing diplomatic about this tactic. We’ve been diplomatic for countless lives, always trying to avoid confrontation, never meeting our problems face to face. That’s not my style. I like to meet problems head on and that’s what I want you to do, too.
