Kalou Rimpoche is a 7-year-old grand lama of Tibetan Buddhism, believed to be reincarnated from one of the leading grandmasters in recent times. Ahead of the Kalachakra, the ceremony integral to Tibetan Buddhism, Rimpoche has two friends visit him from abroad. The three children have formed a friendship which transcends language, beliefs and cultural differences. As the ceremony, rich in colour and enlightenment, proceeds, the children discover more about each other and learn that differences can be enriching.
