Welcome to FPMT in Australia’s website. The FPMT is the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition – an international network of Buddhist centres – founded over 50 years ago by Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche and Lama Thubten Yeshe. Our Australian centres offer meditations, talks and teachings, and opportunities for reflection and kindness. There are many classes and practices to be found online – check out our Events calendar below to find out more.
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.

2025 Pilgrimage with Geshe Tenzin Zopa
Photographer: Stephie Brennan
Following the success of the pilgrimage to Nepal’s sacred places last November (check out our gallery), led by Buddhist master, Geshe Tenzin Zopa, we are incredibly fortunate that Geshela has agreed to lead another pilgrimage for FPMT in Australia in 2025. Geshe Zopa has his base in Australia, and travels the world teaching and leading dharma events as an international FPMT geshe. Watch this space as we make our announcement in coming weeks!
