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.

By eliminating the self-pitying imagination of ego, you go beyond fear. All fear and other self-pitying emotions come from holding a self-pitying image of yourself.

Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s News:
News, Activities and Advice
Rinpoche is currently teaching in Colombia at the invitation of Centro Yamantaka.
New Advice: How to Overcome Depression
A student wrote to Lama Zopa Rinpoche saying that he had stopped doing his Buddhist practices and became depressed. Here is an extract from Rinpoche’s response:
“… [I]t all depends on what you do with your mind. The mind can be kept totally in great happiness by reading the lam-rim, by meditating, and by thinking about what I said. On the basis of what I’m saying about the nature of mind, meditate on Buddha nature. You can even be free from the hell sufferings. It’s just temporary. It’s not forever. It’s impermanent. Compared to the hell suffering, no matter how heavy the human suffering may appear to be, it’s great peace. It’s like nirvana. You have to understand that.
Lama Zopa Rinpoche, New York, USA, August 2015.

Don’t worry about what happened in the past, that you couldn’t do this and you couldn’t do that – these things happen because we are human beings and have strong delusions. But now put in effort and do your best.”
Highlights from our blogs on FPMT.org:
On August 24, Ven. Roger Kunsang shared on his Twitter page this brief thought from Lama Zopa Rinpoche:
Lama Zopa: Death is here, remember Dharma!
The Peace Afforded by Inner Development

“Even if you owned a pile of diamonds the size of this earth, the peace you’d get from that would be minimal and could never compare with that afforded by inner development,” Lama Zopa Rinpoche says. Read more …

Prayer to Create the Causes of Success
During his recent teachings in Europe, Lama Zopa Rinpoche recommended a particular prayer to create the causes for success and overcome obstacles. We promised to get you the prayer – and here it is! With thanks to Lotsawa House.
Lama Zopa Rinpoche said:
“For the success of the center and your own success, the success of FPMT and the holy wishes of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, every morning you must recite a short auspicious prayer written by Je Miphampa, a great, great Kagyü lama. Recite it first thing, then if you can think, as I try to think [that by reciting the prayer may] all the people who do good things for others have success; and may all the people who do bad things change their mind, not harm; then for the success of FPMT, then your success, so the success of the center, then yourself. That is one thing that is very important for success.”
The video and full edited transcript of this teaching are up in the FPMT Affiliates Area.
