Before you travel
This directory was transcribed from the official country listings at fpmt.org/centers in September 2026, and nothing in it was written from memory. Centres move, study groups start and close, and phone numbers change. Every country heading above links to the official listing, which is the one that is kept current. Check there, and write ahead, before you turn up.
Not every place listed is a public teaching centre. The directory also includes monasteries, nunneries, hospices, schools, retreat lands, publishers and prison programmes.
Context
What FPMT is, and who built it
The history, the founders, the great monasteries these centres descend from, and the archives that give their teachings away free.
If you are new
Walking into a centre
You do not need to know anything, believe anything or bring anything. Say you are new. The Start Here page covers what to expect and what to ask.
