After the
Dalai Lama notices a hurt individual in his congregation, he begins to doubt
his people's abilities. Disguised
as a common man, the Dalai
Lama sets out on a journey to the West to learn more about human life experiences. The transformative path takes him on the road to
Chinatown and even the White House, where he experiences the juxtaposition of the
Western and the Eastern cultures and how greed and capitalism have drained the
nation. The Dalai Lama comes across the diversity of Americans with his
encounters with Native Americans, Black slaves, and Irish thugs, forcing him to
grow quickly. In addition to that, he finds true love and is forced to choose between two drastically different futures in two
different countries.
