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.

If your daily life is tremendously involved in emotions, you are completely driven by them and psychologically tired. In other words, our physical emotions get too involved and we don’t understand the functioning of our six sense consciousnesses.

The Best Way to Live Your Life

During teachings in Switzerland in 2018, Lama Zopa Rinpoche taught on the importance of generating patience and creating happiness for others, captured in this excerpt and video clip:
“Even if you don’t believe in reincarnation and karma, even those who are listening for the first time, if you practice patience, if there is no anger from your side, that brings so much happiness to you as you live life, and to your family, to society, to the country, and into the world. You can bring so much happiness, peace, into the world….” Read in full …
Importance of Studying and Applying Lamrim in Daily Life
“Practice mindfulness and the three principal aspects of the path to enlightenment—renunciation, bodhichitta, and right view. Then everything done with renunciation becomes the cause of liberation and does not become the cause of samsara. Then everything done with bodhichitta becomes the cause of enlightenment. Then with right view, everything becomes a remedy to samsara, a remedy to ignorance, which is the root of all your suffering, your samsara, the root of all your sufferings of samsara. It eliminates that; that’s what you need.” Read in full …

The Puja Fund Sponsorship on Buddha Multiplying Days
Shakyamuni Buddha by Jane Seidlitz.

On the four great Buddha multiplying days (when merit is multiplied by 100 million) the Puja Fund sponsors 15,650 Sangha to offer specific pujas, and offerings are made to holy objects around the world, IMI Sangha communities, and Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s gurus.
The next holy day, Chokhor Duchen (commemorating Lord Buddha’s first teaching), will be celebrated this year on August 4 and a vast array of prayers, practices, and offerings will be sponsored. These will include a complete recitation of the Kangyur by Khachoe Ghakyil Ling (also known as Kopan Nunnery) and the Prajnaparamita by Gyurme Tantric College.
On Saka Dawa, which was observed this year on June 17, all of this was offered by the Puja Fund.
All of these pujas and offerings are dedicated to the long life of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and to the success of all the FPMT centers, projects, services, students, benefactors, and those serving the organization in any way. Please consider participating in this beneficial activity by rejoicing in, mentally joining in the offerings and practices, and also offering any amount to the Puja Fund so that these prayers and practices can continue far into the future.

Next Teacher Development Service Seminar
This will be held January 27 – 31 2020, at Istituto Lama Tsong Khapa, Italy. This unique training is designed for FPMT registered teachers, introductory course facilitators, and meditation leaders. The seminar will introduce principles of contemporary Dharma pedagogy (method and practice of teaching), within the context of the unique FPMT lineage. During the seminar you will explore areas of specific interest to those teaching and leading meditation within FPMT centers, including course planning. The seminar is experiential and participatory, and is suitable for experienced Dharma teachers and complete beginners alike, as it stimulates reflective practice and professional development, which are essential processes for everyone helping others learn Dharma in FPMT education programs.

FPMT’s 17th International Sangha Day is on August 4 this year, Chokhor Duchen. All centers, projects and services are encouraged to celebrate the Sangha on this special multiplying day.
New Program Under the UECW Pillar of Service
Building Balanced Empathy is a brand new Universal Education for Compassion and Wisdom course designed by the Foundation for Developing Compassion and Wisdom (FDCW).
It lasts six hours and explores empathy, vulnerability and emotional resilience. During the course, we examine what causes you to feel emotionally overwhelmed and conversely what leads you to emotionally disconnect from others. We explore how to genuinely feel and understand the experiences and emotions of other people, allowing for more compassion towards oneself and others. You will learn techniques empowering you to relate to others in a healthy, more balanced way.
The course is flexible in format so that it is easy to slot into a center’s schedule, and fit with people’s increasingly busy lives, as a weekly evening class or an all day workshop. Directors and SPCs are invited to find out more by contacting Victoria, director of FDCW.
