LOVING KARMA
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. 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?
