Documentary screening: A Higher Purpose + Q&A with film participant


Details
## In connection with Jack Petranker's weekend workshop September 5-7 do we have the honor to present this new documentary. The screening is followed with a discussion with Jack, who is one of the people participating in the film
”How did ordinary people achieve such extraordinary accomplishments?
At its heart, A Higher Purpose explores what becomes possible when people align their lives with something greater than themselves. Dedication and an extraordinary vision have created something remarkable: opportunities for transformative work with results that seem almost impossible.
Under the guidance of their teacher Tarthang Tulku, volunteers have undertaken vast projects supporting Buddhist culture in Asia and extending its spirit to the West – from printing millions of books to establishing centers of practice across four continents.
Visually stunning and grounded in the lived experiences of those who brought this vision to life, A Higher Purpose is a powerful meditation on devotion, the transcendence of limits, and the resilience of the human spirit. It stands as a living testament to how one individual’s clarity of purpose—rooted in compassion and unwavering resolve—can awaken the hearts and hands of many, transforming adversity into enduring acts of beauty, wisdom, and hope that will inspire generations to come.”
