Lobsang Phuntsok — Re-inviting the Uninvited Guests of the Universe
Collage of a few clips from interactions with Lobsang.
Few words from the heart, from someone who has visited Jhamtse Gatsal.
Even when Lobsang poked holes in his grandparents' kitchenware, his grandmother still loved him.
What happens, when you try to run away from a monastery, and your head monk helps plan your escape route?
When getting caught watching Bollywood movies as a youth in the monastery, Lobsang was disarmed by the punishment he received.
"Sometimes, not having the best opportunities can be a blessing to us." So much so that bullying is a foreign concept to them.
"Grief can destroy us, or make us stronger and facilitate growth."
"Circumstances make us very different people." "I ended up in a monastery, and there were people training me to become a warrior of compassion, a love warrior. Not a warror of hate."
A pivotal moment that changed Lobsang's trajectory.
It is often when we are empty, that are filled with great insight and love.
Sometimes teachers learn from their students. :)
In the end, it's the little things.
What gives Lobsang hope for future generations.
In Mumbai, Lobsang shares a 20-minute talk from his heart.
