Buddha's Lost Children is a beautiful documentary from the Dutch
filmmaker Mark Verkerk. He follows the Thai Buddhist monk Khru Bah, who
dedicated his life to helping the people in the villages and training
orphans to be good Buddhists. The area he lives in is very poor and a
lot of people are addicted or have been addicted to drugs. He bless them
and teach them the good and bad things in life. He also takes care
of little orphans and with his help they can learn to take care of
themselves and others, they have enough food and are able to go to
school. Music: Tibetan Incantations - Om Mani Padme Hum.
Chants of Tibet: The Meditative Sound of Buddhist Chants--Om mani padme hum is probably the most famous mantra in Buddhism, the six syllabled mantra of the bodhisattva of compassion, Avalokiteshvara (Tibetan Chenrezig, Chinese Guanyin).
