We have been moved by the outpouring of kind and heartfelt tributes, condolences, and notice of prayers being offered from great lamas, friends, and monastery officials around the world for Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s swift return. We have created a page to honor these warm messages as we receive them.
Additionally, students around the world are sharing their messages, tributes, and memories of Rinpoche. As online tributes from students are created through FPMT centers, we will add them here.

Online Student Tributes
As online tributes to Lama Zopa Rinpoche from students are created through FPMT centers, we will add them here.
- Remembering Lama Zopa Rinpoche online wall created by Amitabha Buddhist Centre, Singapore
Many FPMT registered teachers, students, and friends have shared very moving tributes and meditations on Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s many qualities and impact. These are shared on YouTube, Facebook, and other social media outlets. As we can’t share all of them here or keep up on the many beautiful sentiments shared, we hope that students will seek these out from Dharma friends and teachers on their own platforms and share their own as well.
