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.

It is important to understand that true practice is something we do from moment to moment, from day to day. We do whatever we can, with whatever wisdom we have, and dedicate it all to the benefit of others. We just live our life simply, to the best of our ability.
Lama Thubten Yeshe

A Most Precious Meeting with His Holiness the Dalai Lama
On November 2, 2022, Lama Zopa Rinpoche had a private audience with His Holiness the Dalai Lama in His Holiness’s residence in Dharamsala, India. His Holiness shared a heartfelt appreciation for Rinpoche’s activities for the benefit of sentient beings, and according to those in attendance (including Ven. Roger Kunsang who we were delighted to see standing in the photos following his accident resulting in a fractured hip in September), it was an extremely positive meeting. Please read more and rejoice in this most precious meeting with His Holiness.

We’re Rejoicing About:
Building Universal Education Together
The development of compassion and wisdom are at the heart of the FPMT organization. Our mission is to 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. The goal of the FPMT Universal Education for Compassion and Wisdom (UECW) Pillar of Service is to provide secular tools inspired by Dharma for those people who are not drawn to religion. The Foundation for Developing Compassion and Wisdom (FDCW) is an FPMT affiliate which has focused on developing and sharing such secular UECW programs and resources. We are therefore delighted to announce that FDCW will now serve as the FPMT organization’s official hub for this Pillar of Service! FDCW will provide guidance and support to all in the FPMT organization to help further develop universal education for compassion and wisdom. You can read more about this beneficial development.
Congratulations to Jamyang Buddhist Centre of Leeds, UK!
Please join the entire FPMT community in congratulating Jamyang Buddhist Centre on their twenty-fifth anniversary serving sentient beings—an incredible achievement!
