bio Lama Yeshe was a founder of the FPMT. A visionary teacher who was particularly skilled and intent on presenting the Buddhadharma to Westerners in a way that brought genuine transformation to arise deeply in their hearts and minds. He is the author of many books, including modern Buddhist classics like Introduction to Tantra, and The Bliss of Inner Fire.

​ Lama Yeshe passed away in 1984. Since his passing, the FPMT has grown to over 150 Dharma centers, projects and services in 37 countries. His reincarnation was recognized a few years later as a Spanish boy, Osel Hita, who is now in his early thirties and is teaching Dharma and pursuing interests in filmmaking.
