...he cured me.

- You have cancer?

- Yes.

He cured you of cancer?

You don't believe me.

I think you believe it.

Belief is all we have.

- Hey... Sorry.

- Uh, no, no, no.

Hi, Guru. I'm Jamie.

I just wanted to ask you...

I have been waiting so long

for you, my friend.

Bring her to the library.

Chandra!

- What happened?

- Motorcycle accident.

- One hour ago.

- Take her to the library.

- Chandra, what can I do?

- Just nothing right now.

Hey. Is she okay?

Jamie! Jamie...

Jamie?

Are you okay?

Yeah...

Jamie.

Something the matter?

Mountains, uh...

Just the altitude, I guess.

Mm.

It can take some time

to adjust here.

Is she okay?

The little girl?

Yes.

Thankfully.

What did the old man do?

Guruji.

I'm sorry.

What did Guruji do?

Performed a miracle.

Miracles.

Give them a lot more credit

than they deserve.

Miracles are a matter

of perspective.

To some,

your cellphone's a miracle.

Yeah, but it's explained.

The science behind that

is rational.

Hmm. Enlighten me.

A phone uses electromagnetic waves to

send your voice all around the world.

Sending your voice

through invisible waves

around the world.

Sounds rational?

So you're telling me

he uses invisible energy?

I'm telling you that miracles

aren't contrary to science.

What else could be

right in front of us,

within us,

that we just don't know yet

how to use.

Hmm?

Come.

I'm gonna show you something

you might find hard to believe.

Please, keep an open mind.

What is this?

The story of this mountain.

Thousands of years ago,

there was a temple here,

and after meditating

for many years in this cave,

this monk...

became enlightened

and shared his wisdom

with the surrounding villagers.

One day...

soldiers from the north came...

and seized the temple

and... destroyed everything.

Then there was a period of

great suffering and oppression.

Until...

...this young prince

and princess bore a child.

This child...

possessed great power within.

And after meditating

for many years in this cave,

he, too, became enlightened.

The monk...

and the child...

are believed to be forms

of an enlightened being,

from another realm,

born into the human world

to end the suffering

of all sentient beings.

This mountain...

is that gateway...

to that realm.

This princess

is the caretaker...

who helps him transition...

in and out of this world.

And with her help...

...he has been reincarnating

for thousands of years.

Our Guruji.

We aren't the first ones

to realize

that there is something

so beautiful happening here.

Things I never thought

could be possible.

You just have to choose

to see them.

This place is so beautiful,
