In the presence of protagonist Lobsang Phuntsok
What happens when suffering meets compassion?As a struggling young boy, Lobsang Phuntsok was sent to a Tibetan Buddhist monastery —a life-changing process that helped him heal and find his purpose.
After years as a spiritual teacher in the United States, he felt called to return to his birthplace in the remote Indian Himalayas to create ‘Jhamtse Gatsal’ (Tibetan for ‘The Garden of Love and Compassion’) a home for wounded children like himself. This community is inspired by HisHoliness the 14th Dalai Lama’s lifelong commitment to compassion and today remains a living example of how pain can be transformed into love.
Loving Karma expands the Emmy-winning short film Tashi and the Monk into a feature-length documentary by returning to Jhamtse Gatsal twelve years later and picking up the stories of Lobsang, Tashi and the new arrivals she is learning to care for. Can community and compassion really heal even the deepest wounds ?
