Lama Thubten Yeshe (1935-1984) was an influential Tibetan Buddhist teacher who played a pivotal role in the spread of Tibetan Buddhism in the West. Born in Tibet near Lhasa, he entered the Sera Je monastery at the age of six, where he received extensive training in Buddhist philosophy and contemplative practice.
After the 1959 Tibetan uprising, Lama Yeshe fled to India, where he met his closest disciple, Lama Zopa Rinpoche. Together they established the Kopan monastery in Nepal, which became an important centre of learning for Western students.
His unique ability to communicate Buddhist teachings in a way that was accessible and relevant to the Western mind, combined with his charisma and sense of humour, made him one of the most beloved and effective teachers of his time. He founded the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT), which today has more than 160 centres around the world.
