It is the belief of the Buddhist nation of Tibet that their godking and the true leader of their country, whom they call the Dalai Lama, will be reincarnated after he dies. Like the three Persian magi searching for the newborn Jesus, three Tibetan holy leaders, known as lamas, have been tasked to find the fifteenth reincarnation of the Dalai Lama. The lamas consist of Gephel, a survivor of the mid-twentieth-century Chinese invasion of his country; Jongbu, a companion of the late Dalai Lama who helped reorganize the administration of Potala Palace when China partially relinquished its control; and Phuntsok, a young Buddha who possesses an extraordinary understanding of Buddhist teachings and spiritual practices. As their journey leads them to the truth, the lamas learn that the supposed reincarnation was born in the United States where the Dalai Lama discovered his true identity. But with that truth comes new challenges that culminate when Jesse Criss’s American upbringing and Buddhist beliefs collide with the superpower China occupying Tibet. “What is stronger than love? Duty is. Because of one’s duty to his country, mission or destiny one will leave the person one loves.” - Chapter 4. “Superior goodness defeats both ignorance and evil. And what good can be more superior than from the one who keeps it despite the evil that he has suffered? “ - Chapter 6.
