In light of the catastrophic flooding that recently hit Nepal and Tibet, FPMT has launched the FPMT Emergency Relief Fund to provide immediate support to affected communities. This fund assists individuals and families impacted by natural disasters, emergency situations at FPMT centers and projects, and other urgent crises requiring swift aid.

To Support - https://fpmt.org/projects/fpmt/social-services-fund/fpmt-emergency-relief-fund/

We are currently utilizing this fund to raise relief funds for those impacted by the flooding that occurred on August 26 along the Bhote Koshi River on the Nepal-Tibet border. The floodwaters have swept away entire villages, homes, roads, bridges, and essential infrastructure across Rasuwa and neighboring districts. The scale of this disaster is still unfolding, with many people remaining unaccounted for and entire communities displaced.

FPMT is working directly with Kopan Monastery to identify those most in need and help ensure that support reaches affected families directly.

We will keep you updated as aid is distributed. Thank you for keeping all those affected in your prayers. 🙏https://fpmt.org/projects/fpmt/social-services-fund/fpmt-emergency-relief-fund/

As we prepared to publish our latest newsletter, we learned of the recent heartbreaking destruction at the Nepal-Tibet border. We offer our most sincere prayers to all affected by this devastation and share recommended practices for natural disasters.

Please note that a partial lunar eclipse will occur in the Americas, Europe, and Africa on August 27 and 28, and this is an excellent time to offer prayers, as the results are multiplied 700,000 times.

Please read this month’s newsletter for links to all of the recommended practices, as well as additional timely advice from Lama Zopa Rinpoche and Lama Yeshe, in the context of political division, dangers of the elements, and the ongoing Global Mani Retreat.

We also share important updates from around the world, including from our own Board of Directors, as well as many causes for rejoicing, including information on recent grants offered to schools in India and Nepal and news on the two Maitreya statues being built in Kushinagar and Bodhgaya.

Di fronte alle dolorose notizie che giungono in queste ore dal Nepal e dal Tibet, il nostro cuore e le nostre preghiere si rivolgono a tutte le persone, alle famiglie e a tutti gli esseri senzienti colpiti dalla catastrofe. Il legame spirituale e umano che unisce la nostra comunità al Nepal e al Paese delle Nevi rende questo momento particolarmente toccante.

Nel Buddhismo Mahāyāna, la distanza fisica non costituisce un ostacolo al potere della mente, della preghiera sincera e della compassione. Anche a migliaia di chilometri di distanza, ciascuno di noi può offrire un aiuto reale e tangibile dedicando le proprie energie spirituali alla pacificazione degli elementi e al sollievo di chi sta soffrendo.

Per circostanze come queste, il nostro prezioso Maestro Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoce ha consigliato alcune pratiche e preghiere mirate per purificare le cause della sofferenza e portare protezione. Uniamoci come comunità nella recitazione e nella dedica dei meriti affinché i soccorsi siano tempestivi, la sofferenza venga rapidamente placata e tutti gli esseri possano ritrovare sicurezza e pace.

Over the years, Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche offered various pieces of advice for prayers and practices to turn to when facing natural disasters.

In light of the recent flash flood and mudslide along the Nepal–Tibet border, which struck the Rasuwa district north of Kathmandu and is believed to have been triggered by an earthquake-induced avalanche and snowmelt entering the Bhote Koshi River, we share the following collection of Rinpoche’s advice, offered in the hope that it may be of benefit:
