For many years, Hita was expected to succeed to leadership of the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT), the organization co-founded by Yeshe.[citation needed] As a university student, "Oz" (as he came to be known)[citation needed] gradually distanced himself from the FPMT, and in 2009 made media statements indicating his intention to pursue a life independent of that organization.[citation needed] However, he remained a follower of Tibetan Buddhism and an FPMT supporter, joining that organization's board of trustees in 2010.[citation needed]
