The aim of the Education Department at FPMT International Office is to serve the needs of Dharma centers and individuals in the area of Tibetan Buddhist educational and spiritual materials. This includes prayers and practice texts, retreat sadhanas and other practice materials, a variety of study texts and translations, deity images for meditation, and curricular materials for study programs in FPMT Dharma centers.

One of our principal objectives is to serve as a repository for a wide variety of practice texts primarily within the Gelug tradition, especially those authored or translated by Lama Zopa Rinpoche and Lama Thubten Yeshe. We work in close collaboration with the Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive, Boston, Massachusetts, which serves as a repository for the commentaries and transcripts of teachings by Lama Zopa Rinpoche and Lama Yeshe.

If we can be of service to you in any way, please contact us at:

Though hes the father, producer of all conquerors, As a conquerors son, he produced the thought of upholding The conquerors Dharma in infinite worlds. Through this truth May the conqueror Losangs teachings flourish!

When of yore before [Buddha] Indraketu He made his vow, the conqueror and his offspring Praised his powerful courage. Through this truth May the conqueror Losangs teachings flourish!

That the lineage of pure view and conduct might spread, He offered a white crystal rosary to the Sage, Who gave him a conch and prophesied. Through this truth May the conqueror Losangs teachings flourish!
Lama Tsong Khapa in tantric aspect on a tiger Drawing by Andy Weber

His pure view free of eternity or destruction; His pure meditation cleansed of dark fading and fog; His pure conduct practiced according to conquerors orders: May the conqueror Losangs teachings flourish!

Learned, since he extensively sought out learning; Reverend, rightly applying it to himself;1 Good, dedicating all for beings and doctrine: May the conqueror Losangs teachings flourish!

Through being sure that all scriptures, definitive and Interpretative, were, without contradiction, Advice for one persons practice, he stopped all misconduct: May the conqueror Losangs teachings flourish!

Listening to explanations of the three pitakas, Realized teachings, practice of the three trainings His skilled and accomplished life story is amazing. May the conqueror Losangs teachings flourish!

Outwardly calmed and subdued by the hearers conduct, Inwardly trusting in the two stages practice, He allied without clash the good paths of sutra and tantra: May the conqueror Losangs teachings flourish!

Combining voidness, explained as the causal vehicle, With great bliss, achieved by method, the effect vehicle, Heart essence of eighty thousand Dharma bundles May the conqueror Losangs teachings flourish!

By the power of the ocean of oath-bound doctrine protectors, Like the main guardians of the three beings paths The quick-acting lord,2 Vaishravana, Karma-yama May the conqueror Losangs teachings flourish!

In short, by the lasting of glorious gurus lives, By the earth being full of good, learned, reverend holders Of the teaching, and by the increase of power of its patrons, May the conqueror Losangs teachings flourish!
