Buddha's Lost Children - Om Mani Padme Hum

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 on 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 (Derived from the Sanskrit, Devanagari ॐ मणि पद्मे हूँ, IAST oṃ maṇi padme huṃ) is probably the most famous mantra in Buddhism, the six syllabled mantra of the bodhisattva of compassion, Avalokiteshvara (Tibetan Chenrezig, Chinese Guanyin). The mantra is particularly associated with the four-armed Shadakshari form of Avalokiteshvara.
The Dalai Lama is said to be an incarnation of Chenrezig or Avalokiteshvara, so the mantra is especially revered by his devotees.
I have a lot of good memories associated with this song from my time in Nepal.

Too right, let the orphans donkey the loads. Set those ponies free (written on my iPad from my hummer).

@LeviAAA VERY good and thoughtful question. I would love to hear an answer. Also, is it truly loving to bring in orphans only to indoctrinate them?  True compassion would come with no religious strings attached. I am very sympathetic to Buddhism, I'm practically one all but in name, but when I hear about someone bringing orphans in to be "good buddhists"... Imagine if you heard a Christian doing that in India! How offensive! Buddha would NOT approve.

Why would a Buddhist burden the back of an animal?

I have watched this many of times and each time i watch it i discover something new in the film. You laugh and cry but you feel every emotion of the children on their journey. Well worth the watch just for the wonderfull views.
