Synopsis

From Tibet in the 1970’s to the States in the 1990’s, Rinpoche is the story of a Tibetan child who witnessed the massacre of his family by occupying Chinese forces. After a long and terrifying escape to India, Tenzin Rinpoche, the incarnation of a Tibetan yogi, became a renowned expert in martial arts but was never able to relieve his disturbing memories and emotional pain. When he met American photographer, Sarah, at a Tibetan monastery in the States, they recognized their profound karmic connection which in turn became an intense love that brought spiritual awakening followed by devastating heartbreak and loss. Moving between twentieth century Tibet and the West, Rinpoche explores what can happen to a child who experiences wartime atrocities.
