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.

Lama Zopa Rinpoche:
Long Life Puja Offered
We rejoice that the official long life puja on behalf of the entire FPMT organization was offered to Lama Zopa Rinpoche at Kopan Monastery, Nepal, on March 11. The puja was a joyful success complete with lama and sherpa dances, and a picnic was offered in the stupa garden. Thanks to all who contributed in all variety of ways to this important event!
Mantra Recitations Requested—Totals Needed by Tomorrow Please!
At the beginning of each Tibetan year, Ven. Roger Kunsang, FPMT Inc. CEO and Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s assistant, requests advice for Rinpoche’s health and the success of the FPMT organization. This year Rangjung Neljorma Khadro Namsel Drönme (Khadro-la), has advised that it would be extremely beneficial if FPMT students can recite Chenrezig and White Tara mantras for His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s health, for the fulfilment of all their wishes, and for the benefit of all in the FPMT organization. We shared details of the advice to be completed during the Fifteen Days of Miracles (March 3-18) at the beginning of the month.
Tomorrow, March 19, is the day to offer your recitations, whether you are doing them individually or as part of a group at a center, project, or service. If you are reciting individually, please let Claire know your final recitation. Ven. Roger will then offer that accumulation of meritorious activity to Lama Zopa Rinpoche on behalf of us all.
- Chenrezig mantra:
OM MANI PADME HŪM (link to a short practice from Education Services)
- White Tara mantra:
OM TĀRE TUTTĀRE TURE MAMA ĀYUR PUṆYE JÑĀNA PUSHTIM KURUYE SVĀHĀ (link to a short meditation from Education Services)
Teachings and Advice from Lama Zopa Rinpoche
We have been sharing topical advice from Rinpoche and excerpting from “The Time to Practice is Now,” a detailed summary of the 2020 Thought Transformation Teachings offered by Rinpoche from Kopan Monastery in Nepal. Recent blogs include:
- “Practices for Ukraine,” Rinpoche’s advice regarding practices to do in response to the current situation in Ukraine to reduce the war and to help stop the violence and suffering.
- “How to Help Sentient Beings Say Goodbye to the Suffering of Samsara,” an excerpt from “The Time to Practice is Now,” where Rinpoche reminds us to not waste this human rebirth but use it to develop compassion and help others.
- “The Uncountable Benefits of Tara Practice,” an excerpt from the Tara chapter of Rinpoche’s new book, The Power of Mantra: Vital Practices for Transformation.

We’re Rejoicing About:
New Holy Objects Created for the Success of FPMT and All Beings
We are so happy to announce the creation of some recent holy objects that Lama Zopa Rinpoche has advised to be made for the benefit of the entire FPMT organization and all beings.
We recently shared details of a 3.5-foot (1-meter) tall Dzambala statue; a 7-foot (2-meter) tall Ganapati statue at Kopan Monastery; a 9-foot by 6-foot (2.7-meter by 1.8-meter) prayer wheel being built outside of the house where Rinpoche was born in Thame, Nepal; eight new stupas being added to the 1,000 Buddha altar outside of Rinpoche’s room at Kopan Monastery; and a large Green Tara statue, which has been offered to Rangjung Neljorma Khadro Namsel Drönme (Khadro-la) for her retreat place. Please read more and see a precious video of the Dzambala statue arriving at Kopan Monastery.
