What is the 'Zanskar Vow'?
After a recent screening of the movie, filmmaker Frederick Marx received this email:
"It was great to meet you last weekend at the Lenz Foundation Conference and it was great to see your film. Those images have stayed with me a lot and I can't shake the idea about how, when committed to our higher goals, we can do amazing things. It really makes you think when you see what people will commit themselves to do, just for a simple education.
One thing that stuck with me is that this film isn't really about a Journey from Zanskar, it's about commitment. About making a decision and seeing it through. Geshe says it in the end and the beginning about not being able to save all beings, but maybe he can save a few."
They went on to suggest that people make their own vow. On behalf of Geshe Yenton, we invite you to send us your vow to make the world a better place. We will be updating the site regularly with your thoughts.
