Welcome to the Lama Yeshe Ling Tibetan Buddhist community. 
Here you can get in touch with what is happening, meet friends, learn about Buddhist Philosophy, and most importantly discover methods that may help you to overcome suffering, develop compassion and gain insight. We are a collection of FPMT study groups in Central Ontario, meeting in Kitchener/Waterloo, Oakville, Burlington, Hamilton and Toronto.
The Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition ('FPMT') transmits the Mahayana Buddhist tradition and values worldwide through Tibetan Buddhist teachings, meditation, community service, retreat centers, and projects that support the Inspiration and Guide of the FPMT His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The FPMT is based on the Gelugpa tradition of Lama Tsong Khapa of Tibet as taught by our founder, Lama Thubten Yeshe and spiritual director, Lama Zopa Rinpoche.

Mahayana Precepts with Geshe Soepa
Location(s)
This is the first opportunity for our community to take precepts. Precepts are 8 vows for one day only. This is traditionally done on new and full moon days and was a practice given to lay practitioners so that they could generate tremendous positive action. They also include observing a partial fast, eating one meal only at lunchtime and drinking only before and after. It is best the first time these vows are taken that this happens with a great teacher such as Geshe Soepa. After that, they can be taken at home twice each month.
