Talk:Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello everyone, I too hope you are well

Forgive my being bold, but I have made a number of changes - 'well-known' is to my mind a matter of opinion. What happened to Conishead Priory after it ceased to be the Manjushri Institute in 1984 seems to me to be nothing to do with an article on the FPMT. I think a citation is needed for the data on the number of centers.

hope this makes sense, cheers Excellentone 14:07, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi everyone, hope you are well.

I have made 2 changes.

I took out the reference to Dorje Shugden. According to this FPMT website, Lama Yeshe was a Dorje Shugden practioner [1] -

"Kopan Monastery had been performing the Dorje Shugden practice from the beginning, as this was Lama Yeshe’s main protector"

Therefore the dispute was not about this practice. It has been discussed in length on the [New Kadampa Traditon] site and discussion page. I do not know enought about it to add an details to this site.

I also added a link about the Maitreya project, hope this doesn't break any rules.

Cheers

Hello again, I had another go at the statment around Manjushri Centre. I took this info from New Kadampa Tradition wiki page and discussion. I have tried to keep to the facts.

Are there any FPMT people on wikipedia? It would be interesting to have some more info about your organisation - as you can see on the NKT page, there is quite a lot of detail on the books and study programmes.
