Call It Karma is the inspiring true story about a young Tibetan Monk named
Gyalten Rinpoche who in 1995 was sent on a spiritual pilgrimage by his Master
to walk 1,000 miles from his remote mountain village. Through the Holy City of
Lhasa, starving and exhausted, he makes his way across the rooftop of the
world to the impoverished Nepalese villages and into the sacred lands of India.
Nearly six years later, he establishes a Buddhist center in the West and
befriends filmmaker Geoff Browne on the streets of Vancouver. Together, they
travel back to the Rinpoche’s home village where Geoff witnesses an emotional
reunion between the Rinpoche, his Master and family. Full circle for the
Rinpoche, but just the beginning for Geoff -- as he is now inspired to retell his
friend’s remarkable life story.
