Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche (1945–2023) was born in Thangme, Nepal and was recognized as the reincarnation of the Lawudo Lama at the age of three. From1956 to 1959 Rinpoche studied at Domo Monastery in Tibet. He then fled Chinese oppression in Tibet and continued his study and practice in Tibetan refugee camps in India, where he met Lama Yeshe (1935–84), who became his principal teacher. In 1969 the Lamas began teaching Buddhism to Westerners at their Kopan Monastery, Kathmandu, Nepal and in 1974 they began traveling the world to spread the Dharma. The FPMT, an international Buddhist organization, was founded by the Lamas in 1975. As spiritual director of an extensive network of centers, projects and services for almost forty years, Rinpoche’s philanthropic work has seen a proliferation of charitable projects and beneficial activities worldwide. On April 13, 2023, Lama Zopa Rinpoche showed the aspect of passing away in Kathmandu, Nepal, after returning from a trip to Tsum Valley. More details of Rinpoche’s life and work may be found on the LYWA and FPMT websites.

Thousands of pages of Rinpoche's teachings have been made available as transcripts, books and audio by the Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive, and most are freely available on the Archive's website. Rinpoche’s other published teachings include Wisdom Energy (with Lama Yeshe), Transforming Problems into Happiness, Dear Lama Zopa and others available from Wisdom Publications, and many prayer and practice booklets available from the FPMT Foundation Store.
