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.

FPMT Puja Fund
Offers Many Services
to the Organization
In addition to an amazing array of ongoing pujas, practices and offerings dedicated for the entire organization, the FPMT Puja Fund provides many other services to the FPMT organization and our teachers, helping create peace for all.
As an example, when Lama Zopa Rinpoche heard that one of his gurus, Choden Rinpoche, was manifesting some health obstacles, Rinpoche immediately sponsored a number of pujas through the Puja Fund. Pujas are also often arranged when Lama Zopa Rinpoche travels to remove any possible obstacles. Additionally, the Puja Fund recently made a donation to help Shantideva Study Group in Israel carry out Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s advice to help bring peace to Palestine and Israel and the whole world.
Please rejoice in some of the incredible activities that the Puja Fund is able to offer on behalf of the entire FPMT organization. To keep up on all the activities of this beneficial project, please follow the Puja Fund news blog.
