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.

When Lord Buddha spoke about suffering, he wasn’t referring simply to superficial problems like illness and injury, but to the fact that the dissatisfied nature of the mind itself is suffering.

The story of the first Kopan Meditation Course at Kopan Monastery in Nepal:
Zina was still eager for Lama Yeshe to teach a course, but he refused. She turned to Zopa Rinpoche. “She pestered me relentlessly,” Rinpoche recalled. “She kept on asking until I began to feel encouraged in my heart and developed a strong wish to do it. I asked Lama Yeshe what he thought. He replied, ‘Well, if you think it will be beneficial, then you do.’ So, with Lama’s blessing, I agreed,” said Zopa Rinpoche. Read in full …

Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s Advice for Those in the FPMT Organization

|
Lama Zopa Rinpoche met with participants in the FPMT India National Meeting earlier this month. Rinpoche made these key points:
“[If] People come to FPMT centers and they see that people there are more kind to others; not proud, not arrogant, not angry, not that old personality from beginningless rebirth, not that, [but showing] Dharma qualities: good hearted, kind, the same to uneducated people, educated people, young, old, everyone, like His Holiness has respect to everybody, educated, uneducated, poor, rich – like that. For FPMT that’s very important, then people are so happy to come back again and again to the center.
“In the FPMT organization we have to pay attention to daily practice – that is so important. Your own daily practice – to be kind to sentient beings – that’s what lamrim teaches all the time. Respect sentient beings, be kind. Be sincerely polite, not politically polite, but polite from the heart, by thinking of the kindness of others. That brings happiness to others, just in daily life, brings happiness to so many people in the heart.”
