Global Mani Retreat

Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition

May 17 – November 1, 2026
online

In honor of FPMT’s 50th anniversary, the entire FPMT community is invited to join together in a Global Mani Retreat, helping to fulfill Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s Vast Vision of hosting 100 Million Mani Retreats around the world.

The 2026 Global Main Retreat will include online teachings with High Lamas and group practice sessions to generate merit, create the causes for Rinpoche’s swift return, and support the long life of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The teaching schedule is based on UTC: Coordinated Universal Time. Please check session times carefully and convert them to your local time zone.

The program is scheduled to commence on the first day of Saka Dawa month (Sunday, May 17, 2026), and conclude on the final Buddha Day for this year, Lhabab Duchen (Sunday, November 1, 2026). This retreat will be something unprecedented for our global FPMT family.
