Just pointing out the movie was about Lama Norbu reincarnating, not the Buddha. It just showed the story of how the Buddha found enlightenment along the way. - @Sunday, March 11, 2018 1:08 AM

People thinking that the white boy is a reincarnation of buddha proves that they haven't watched the movie. The boy is meant to be a reincarnation of a tibetan lama. - @Wednesday, September 27, 2017 7:26 AM

So many negative comments! This was my favorite movie as a child (I was born in 1993) and although I can see some issues with the way Buddha was portrayed now, I still think it's a beautiful movie. - @Monday, June 5, 2017 2:29 PM

Buddha was enlightened and I thought broke the cycle of birth and death. This is why he became the Buddha! - @Thursday, June 23, 2016 1:53 AM

Can't be that Buddha is recarnated because he got enlighted and in Buddism you're not reborn when you're enlightened! ;-) - @Monday, May 23, 2016 12:20 PM

film makers don't know where Buddha was borne, Buddha was borne in Nepal not in India. - @Wednesday, October 14, 2015 7:54 AM

Little buddha has given true relationship between humanity and breaking high belief of RELIGIOUS barriers. This story expressed belief of reincarnation rather than separation of Buddhism (Theravadha or Mahayana). - @Monday, April 27, 2015 5:38 AM
