Tashi and the Monk

Buddhist monk Lobsang Phuntsok was trained under the guidance of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to share Tibetan Buddhism with the West.
In 2006, he felt called to leave his life as a spiritual teacher in the United States, and returned to the region of his birth with a dream of rescuing unwanted children.
In the remote foothills of the Indian Himalayas he created a unique community called Jhamtse Gatsal: The Garden of Love and Compassion.
This film follows Jhamtse's newest arrival, a wild and troubled 5-year-old girl named Tashi, as she learns what love is and how it can help her to heal.
Directed by Andrew Hinton & Johnny Burke.
