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.

Over 3,000 people saw a Twenty-One Taras thangka in its first ever exhibition at White Night Melbourne 2018, titled “Tara the Liberator.” Lama Zopa Rinpoche commissioned Peter Iseli to paint this huge 15-meter (49-feet) high thangka of the Twenty-One Taras for Tara Institute, Australia, so that it may help all who see it. It took Peter four years to paint. As Tara Institute commented, “It is not just an astonishing artwork, it is an act of love.”
