HAPPY BIRTHDAY and long life wishes!
FPMT newsletter:
Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s birthday is celebrated on December 3. We invite you to join the entire FPMT community as we rejoice in another year of Rinpoche’s compassionate and inspiring life, and transformative teachings.
A celebration for Rinpoche will begin at Kopan Monastery, first thing on December 3. Early in the morning a long life puja (Namgyal Tsechok) will be offered to Rinpoche. During this puja a monetary offering will be made to all of the monks and nuns in attendance on behalf of the entire FPMT organization. In the afternoon, lunch will be offered to all at Kopan including local people from the area, and November Course participants. After lunch, traditional entertainment will be offered including skits and Sherpa dance. We will share photos and more details of this joyous event after the occasion.
Please join the entire FPMT community, including students and friends around the world, in offering sincere prayers for Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s long and healthy life. (All are welcome to download Long Life Prayers for Lama Zopa Rinpoche.)
Rinpoche, on behalf of all the six-realm sentient beings who rely on you—please, please live long!
Lama Zopa Rinpoche is the spiritual director of the Foundation for the Preservation of Mahayana Tradition (FPMT), a Tibetan Buddhist organization dedicated to the transmission of the Mahayana Buddhist tradition and values worldwide through teaching, meditation, and community service.
