    FPMT

    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 founder, Lama Thubten Yeshe and our spiritual director, Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche.

      Taking Refuge in the Three Jewels

      A Short Daily Practice of Taking Refuge

      How to take refuge in the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha in order to be completely liberated from suffering and its causes.

      Taking Refuge and Generating Bodhichitta

      I go for refuge until I am enlightened

      To the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Supreme Assembly

      By my practice of giving and other perfections,

      May I become a buddha to benefit all sentient beings.

      Prayer of the Four Immeasurables

      How wonderful it would be if all sentient beings were to abide in equanimity, free from hatred and attachment, not holding some close and others distant.

      May they abide in equanimity

      I myself will cause them to abide in equanimity.

      Please, Guru-Deity, bless me to be able to do this.
