Saving Money at the Office

My dear students and staff of the FPMT International Office, whose minds are sincere, enriched by incomparable devotion and samaya, dedicated to the good heart benefiting others,

Service in Delhi

My very dear Elizabeth Rinpoche,How are you? I think Delhi Tushita is the best place on earth for only you.

FPMT Support for a Project

I wish you greetings. I am very happy with all the efforts that you are both making by spreading the Buddhadharma.

The Role of FPMT 

The FPMT is a Dharma organization, not a factory; therefore, it should help people, help the students. It’s not a Coca-Cola or chocolate factory.

Pleasing His Holiness the Dalai Lama

The most important thing, the heart thing, for the FPMT, however many billions of projects it has, is to do what pleases most His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

Message to FPMT International Office

The purpose of life is to benefit sentient beings, free them from suffering, and bring them to enlightenment. This is the real meaning of life, the purpose of surviving each hour, minute, and second with this human body.

Logos for centers, projects and services

The logo is not just a design of your company, or something to identify with—thinking in this way has no meaning, and it is very uninteresting, boring.The Tibetan government and lamas understand that the logo has great meaning and significance.

Center Logo 

The logo should have a lotus with many petals, like the type a Buddha statue sits on. There should be big piles of jewels. On top of that is a sutra text. There is sunlight all around.

Universal Education Logo 

My dear George, who is enriched with wisdom and devotion to Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, and compassion to others, fully dedicated, as well as the other staff.
