FPMT Buddhist Retreat Centers
When talking about Buddhist retreat centers, those offered by the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition are quite popular, and with just cause for their standing among Buddhist retreat centers all over the world.
FPMT Buddhist Retreat Centers could be found all over the globe, with each venue highlighting the native beauties where each respective Buddhist Retreat Center is located, providing the best atmosphere for meditation and other Buddhist retreat exercises to prevail in their most ideal states. Also, aside from simply providing Buddhist Retreat Centers where Buddhist Retreats could take place, the FPMT also showcases "Discovering Buddhism Retreats", allowing those who are thinking of converting to Buddhism a first hand look at what makes Buddhism what it is.
To the FPMT, "retreat" means to take time away from one's regular and ordinary day to day activities in giving oneself the time to focus on certain realities in life, away from the stresses that build up over time. The FPMT Buddhist Retreat Centers found all over the world stand as living testaments to this belief, offering not only the best Buddhist Retreats, but the best venues to where Buddhist retreats could take place in.
