As a struggling young boy, Lobsang Phuntsok found healing in a Tibetan Buddhist monastery. Years later, he returned to the Indian Himalayas to found Jhamtse Gatsal, a home for vulnerable children. Expanding the Emmy-winning short "Tashi and the Monk", "Loving Karma" returns twelve years later to follow Lobsang, Tashi and the children she now helps to raise, asking whether compassion and community can heal even the deepest wounds.
