    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.

      When, supreme among humans, you were born on this earth,

      You paced out seven strides,

      Then said, I am supreme in this world.

      To you, who were wise then, I prostrate.

      With pure bodies, form supremely pure;

      Wisdom ocean, like a golden mountain;

      Fame that blazes in the three worlds,

      Winner of the best—Savior, to you I prostrate.

      Dust-free like you, the three worlds are not.

      Incomparably wise one—to you, I prostrate.

      The savior having great compassion,

      The teacher having all understanding,

      The field of merit with qualities like a vast ocean—

      To you, the One Gone to Thusness, I prostrate.

      The purity that frees one from attachment,

      The virtue that frees one from the lower realms,

      The one path, the sublime pure reality—

      To the Dharma that pacifies, I prostrate.

      The holy field qualified with realizations,

      Who are devoted to the moral precepts—

      To you, the Sublime Community Intending Virtue, I prostrate.
