Welcome

Welcome to FPMT in Australia’s website. The Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition – an international network of Buddhist centres – was founded over 50 years ago by Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche and Lama Thubten Yeshe. Check out our Events calendar below to find out more about our online classes and activities.

Our beloved Guru, Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche, passed on in April 2023. Visit HERE for more information and also links to online practices being said for Rinpoche’s swift return.

Shamatha, or calm-abiding, meditation aims helps to settle our mind so that we can abide here and now peacefully.

Mindfulness focuses on the present, without judging, whilst vipassana aims to transform the self through self-observation.

Appreciative joy, as one of the four immeasurables in Buddhism, refers to feeling happy for others and ourselves.
