FPMT Education Services is dedicated to making authentic Dharma texts available worldwide.

FPMT centers, projects, services, and registered teachers wishing to use and/or distribute Dharma materials produced by FPMT Education Services are encouraged to follow the guidelines listed below.

Distributing Digital Copies

FPMT Centers, Projects, Service, registered teachers, and students may use digital FPMT-produced materials by acquiring the FPMT licensed source files. These files are obtained from the FPMT Foundation Store or directly from FPMT Education Services.

For distributing electronic copies (PDF, ebooks, audio download) check FPMT's complete list of available source.

The vast majority of FPMT-produced Dharma materials are available on a generosity-based model. Financial offerings for these materials help us make more Dharma available in accordance with teachings about Dharma income.

For teachings, group practices, retreats, or other activities where individual students require their own digital copies of Dharma texts, please share the Foundation Store links to guarantee that students download the most updated version.

If FPMT licensed source files themselves are shared with students, a donation for the files may be offered either through the Education Preservation Fund or when the files are obtained through the Foundation Store. A suggested donation amount is US$1-$5 per digital copy. For longer Dharma texts with fixed prices, such as the FPMT Essential Prayer Book, please contact FPMT Education Services for a suggested donation amount.

Distributing Print Copies

FPMT Centers, Projects, and Services may locally print FPMT-produced materials by acquiring the FPMT licensed source files. These files are obtained from the Foundation Store or requested directly FPMT Education Services.

If you wish to photocopy material from titles published by the FPMT Education Services Department, Wisdom Publications, LYWA or the local FPMT Publishing Service; or any other copyrighted source, it is always proper to first get permission from the publisher or copyright holder.

For making printed copies of FPMT material check our complete list of available source.

It is best to make high quality copies of Dharma text and holy images as a way to show respect for the Dharma. In accordance with teachings about Dharma income, these printed materials may be offered to students free of charge or made available by donation.

The vast majority of FPMT-produced Dharma materials are available on a generosity-based model. Financial offerings for these materials help us make more Dharma available.

Donations for FPMT licensed source files may be offered either through the Education Preservation Fund or when the files are obtained through the Foundation Store. A suggested donation amount is US$1-$5 per copy printed. For longer Dharma texts with fixed prices, such as the FPMT Essential Prayer Book, please contact FPMT Education Services for a suggested donation amount.

Creating Translations

FPMT licensed source files may be translated into modern world languages with proper citations of source materials according to publishing standards.

Please contact FPMT Education Services for support if other resources or formats of files are needed.

If you like to share the translated works with FPMT, please contact FPMT Education Services for guidelines on format and style.

Please rejoice in helping to bring Dharma prayers and practices to students around the world!
