Tenzin Ösel Hita visited Lama Zopa Rinpoche at Kopan Monastery in Nepal in December. In addition, Ösel with his co-director Matteo Passigato released a new film Being Your True Nature. The 20-minute movie introduces viewers to Universal Education for Compassion and Wisdom, Lama Yeshe’s vision for creating a happier and more peaceful world. The film premiered on Lama Tsongkhapa Day at Kopan Monastery and many other FPMT centers around the world. You can watch Being Your True Nature online by visiting the movie’s website.

 In November, Ösel sent out a message to the FPMT family. He writes:

Also, many of you work as volunteers part time, apart from all the other work you have to cope with. It is very hard, and inspiring. I truly admire every one and each of you for all the effort, dedication and consistency that keeps the organization going. …
