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.

Superficial observation of the sense world might lead you to believe that people’s problems are different, but if you check more deeply, you will see that fundamentally, they are the same. What makes people’s problems appear unique is their different interpretation of their experiences.

Lama Zopa Rinpoche gave extensive advice for FPMT centers, projects, services, and students to be able to honour Lama Tsongkhapa.

New Story from Mandala Magazine
Nalanda Monastery, the FPMT monastery in France, is excited to be working on an expansion project: to create Maitreya Pure Land. Mandala‘s just-published article “Nalanda Monastery’s New Project: Maitreya Pure Land” tells the story of how the monastery is working to take advantage of the opportunity to buy a neighboring property and create a place for semi-isolated retreat.
For Center, Project and Service Directors, SPCs, Board Members, Registered Teachers and Coordinators:
(This advice is specifically for those offering service in these roles.)
Helping You Fulfill the Dharma Pillar of Service
The Teacher Registration Committee recently updated the FPMT Registered Teacher List, with several newly registered teachers included. This is available for you on the FPMT Teacher Lists page in the Affiliates Area. Also please continue to offer FPMT Education programs in full, to enable your local students to be able to graduate – as that is one of the pre-requisites for application as an FPMT registered teacher.
Helping You Fulfill the Universal Education Pillar
To help your center offer the Universal Education for Compassion and Wisdom Pillar of Service, FDCW is accrediting an increasing number of facilitators who are available to lead their courses, such as their most recent course “Building Balanced Empathy” (BBE), which explores empathy, vulnerability and emotional resilience. Thirty-six facilitators around the world are now trained to offer this course. If you are interested in becoming a facilitator we invite you to join the next online facilitator training on January 11th-12th, 2020.
