Chenrezig Institute is a member of the FPMT, which is an international organisation with centres all over the world. The Foundation was founded by Lama Thubten Yeshe and Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche who were trained in the Gelugpa Tradition of Tibetan Buddhism which is headed by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. The FPMT is dedicated to conserving and conveying this tradition, and now has over one hundred education centres world wide, with Chenrezig Institute being one of the first established. In 1984, Lama Thubten Yeshe died and Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche assumed the role of Spiritual Director of the FPMT. Rinpoche also has the additional responsibility of overseeing the spiritual and educational development of Lama Tenzin Osel Rinpoche, who was recognised as the reincarnation of Lama Thubten Yeshe by his holiness the Dalai Lama.
