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.

Celebrating His Holiness the Dalai Lama
Many very inspiring celebrations of His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s 80th birthday have taken place around the world. On June 21 in Dharamsala, India, a huge long life puja was offered to His Holiness. Lama Zopa Rinpoche was invited to attend the long life puja and left his Australian teaching tour early in order to be present. On behalf of the entire FPMT organization, Lama Zopa Rinpoche made offerings to His Holiness the Dalai Lama during the long life puja.
Read Rinpoche’s 1996 praise to His Holiness.

News, Activities and Advice
Help at the Time of Death
Recently, Lama Zopa Rinpoche reiterated how important it is that Dharma students help each other at the time of death. At the time of our death we need help the most, and we rely on fellow students to help us by doing practices as advised by Rinpoche. Learn how to support your Dharma sisters and brothers at this critical time by reading Rinpoche’s heart advice and practices for death and dying, conveniently collected together and ready for use.

During his talk given to the 100 people participating in the meeting, Rinpoche said: “FPMT’s purpose is bigger and more important than [that of] governments. Our purpose is to benefit all beings and bring everyone to enlightenment, the highest everlasting happiness.”

Deadline Approaching to Register for LRZTP 7
From Yaron Bahir, director of LRZTP:
“The next course of LRZTP is about to start this coming October. For this course we have only 20 places and more than half of them are already taken. Registration is still open until the beginning of August. So, if you are considering offering Dharma teachings in Tibetan at your center with a qualified geshe and interpreter in two years’ time, now it is the time to look for a suitable candidate from your community and send them to train in LRZTP 7.
If you don’t find anyone from your Dharma community who wants to be a Dharma interpreter, please connect with us to find out if any of our pre-registered students are hoping to create a connection with an FPMT center.”
High-Resolution Photos of Our Lamas
A reminder that we have made available portrait-style photos of our lamas in high resolution for use by centers, projects and services – including newly added photos of His Holiness the Dalai Lama as part of our celebrating his 80th birthday!
