As a child, Lobsang Phuntsok struggled – until life in a Tibetan monastery gave him healing and purpose. Years later, after teaching as a monk in the US, he returned to his Himalayan homeland to create Jhamtse Gatsal, ‘The Garden of Love and Compassion’, a refuge for abandoned and neglected children carrying wounds like his own. Inspired by the Dalai Lama, the community aspires to transform pain into love. Loving Karma revisits the Emmy-winning documentary, Tashi and the Monk, 12 years on, following Lobsang, Tashi, and new arrivals as they search for hope and healing together.
