FPMT Preserving Dharma
“What FPMT is trying to do is our very best to benefit sentient beings and to preserve the Dharma. We do this through helping the great monasteries to spread the Dharma widely, and through providing Dharma teachings at centers in order for students to purify and collect extensive merits and meditate on the path to enlightenment.
Also through FPMT providing education in guru yoga in order to receive the blessing of the guru in the heart - it is through this condition that the realizations come and there is change in one’s mind. Then one can cease ignorance, the root of samsara, and cease even the subtle defilements, and this is how one can achieve enlightenment.”
(from a letter to a student)
