Why Jhamtse?
Jhamtse – love and compassion in our local Monpa language—is more than a word.
Jhamtse is about weaving meaning, purpose, and belonging into the tapestry of our lives. It is the transformational force that breathes life into the very essence of our humanity.
We are here to Thrive - not just survive.
Jhamtse is not bound by borders.
It does not belong to one culture, one faith, or one place. It is universal, and it is needed now—urgently, deeply. Because when we choose Jhamtse, we choose a world where compassion leads, where generosity lifts, and where love creates the future we all long to see.
Our collective human spirit is yearning for healing, love, and compassion
Now more than ever we need Jhamtse as a seed with limitless human potential to regenerate across generations and cultures, transcending boundaries and divisions.
Tashi and the Monk
In the Emmy-winning documentary ‘Tashi and the Monk,’ our ‘WHY’ is vividly illustrated—a testament to love and compassion in action. These desirable qualities are pivotal for fostering a world where all living beings flourish.
Our founder, Lobsang Phuntsok, profoundly amplifies this sentiment:
The potential of human ability to restore human hope through the practice of love and compassion is limitless.
THIS EMBODIES our ‘WHY’
To respond to the yearning for meaning, purpose, and belonging that stirs in the hearts of many.
By practicing Jhamtse, we aspire to lead children, youth, and adults on a journey of inner transformation which manifests into a collective movement of positive change. With each transformation, the collective spirit grows stronger, rebuilding our world and restoring hope and peace.
