Het is belangrijk voor de lama om te controleren of de Amerikaanse jongen werkelijk de reïncarnatie is van zijn wijze leraar. Omdat de jongen niets weet van het Boeddhisme geeft hij hem het boek over Prins Siddharta, die later Buddha (de verlichte) zou worden. Het blijkt dat hij niet de enige is die de reïncarnatie zou kunnen zijn.
Nee, helaas is Little Buddha nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
