The FPMT Essential Prayer Book contains prayers and practices common in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition recommended for the FPMT by Lama Zopa Rinpoche. It also features Rinpoche’s quintessential advice on the benefits and practice of some of those prayers.

As such, the FPMT Essential Prayer Book is a must-have for all FPMT centers and study groups. For the individual student, it is an invaluable—and inspiring—resource for devotional practice on a daily basis, and during retreat.

With additional practices composed, compiled or arranged by Rinpoche, and others frequently included by Rinpoche at his teachings and events, this 2021 publication (available in digital format only) presents an extensive update of the 2011 collection, Essential Buddhist Prayers, Vol 1, which has been discontinued. Read about prayer books updates here. 

FPMT groups and other organizations wishing to download the e-publication for distribution should refer to FPMT Education Licensing.
