Project 2 ~ Palyul Choekhorling Monastery

This latest project is a video I've been working on as a volunteer effort with Professor Neil Guidry, of Tulane University and Lha Charitable Trust for the Palyul Choekhorling Monastery in Bir, HP. For a collective three weeks, I stayed with the monks in order to best capture their spirit on the camera. Truly, these are some of the most compassionate people I have ever met. I was very privileged to be able to spend such an amount of time with them and I am very proud to present to you the product of our efforts.

This video will be used as a DVD & booklet combo to help raise donations in America for the monastery's much needed projects. If you feel compelled, look into contacting any of the listed persons at the end. Your donations are sincerely appreciated and go a long way to better life for the monastery's residents. Truly, you would be giving to a good cause.

What is in store for the future? Apart from expanding upon the places I've already visited, I recently I've travelled to Srinagar, Jammu & Kashmir and Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh where I did extensive work. Expect to see future projects highlighting that material. In fact, the next upload should be coming out within the next couple of weeks so stay tuned!

As always, this project is open to comments and critiques. If you enjoyed something (or not), please, please let me know about it. I would love to hear your thoughts.

Be sure to check out my last project:
