FPMT MISSION STATEMENT
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.
The FPMT is based on the Buddhist tradition of Lama Tsongkhapa of Tibet as taught by its founders, Lama Thubten Yeshe and Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche.
