[ Man ] Once upon a time in
there was a little goat
and a priest.
sacrifice the goat to the gods.
He raised his arm
to cut the goat's throat,
when suddenly
the goat began to laugh.
The priest stopped, amazed,
and asked the goat,
"Why do you laugh? Don't you know
I'm about to cut your throat?"
"Oh, yes," said the goat.
"After 499 times dying...
I will be reborn
as a human being."
Then the little goat
began to cry.
The high priest said,
"Why now are you crying?"
And the goat replied,
"For you, poor priest.
I too was a high priest...
and sacrificed goats
to the gods."
The priest dropped
to his knees, saying,
"Forgive me, I beg you.
From now on, I will be the guardian and
protector of every goat in the land."
Now, then, what does this
ancient tale teach us?
[ Together ]
That no living creature...
must ever be sacrificed.
What happened to--
to the goat?
Ah, yes, the goat.
Mmm. The goat had many, many lives
as a human being,
until one day he turned
into someone...
very strange indeed.
- Champa!
Show us something of
your previous life, huh?
- [ Bleating ]
- [ Laughing ]
Telegram for Lama Norbu.
I've been waiting
for nine years...
to receive this.
[ Bell Ringing ]
[ Children Yelling,
Laughing ]
- Is it about Lama Dorje?
- Yes.
- Have they found him?
- Perhaps!
We shall all pray for
the success of your mission.
And, uh, remember
to take your medicine.
Wait.
[ Man's Voice ]
This is Lama Dorje's bowl.
You will need it
for your search.

[ Country Folk ]
Everybody is a-wonderin'!
What and where
they all came from!
- Everybody is a-worryin' 'bout
where they're gonna go!
- Seattle!
When the whole thing's
done!
But no one knows
for certain!
- So it's all the same to me.
- [ Monk ] It's so wonderful
to see you again,
- [ Song Continues ]
- but you must be very tired
after such a long flight.
- [ Lama Norbu ] Yes, a little tired.
Tell me again
about your dreams.
They were so intense, and they
always led me to the same place.
- The empty site.
- Yes.
Lama Dorje was walking
in front of me, on a hill.
He was pointing to
this empty spot,
And then I found the site...
quite by chance
a few months after,
just as it was in the dreams.
I saw they had started
to build a house.
I discovered that it belonged
to the family of an engineer...
with a small boy called Jesse,
an only child.
He was born a year after
[ Song Continues, Faintly ]
Lama Dorje
was wearing jeans?
Oh, yes.
It was quite startling,
because in life,
he always wore robes.
Of course, I felt very shy
about approaching them,
but then I was lucky.
Three weeks ago...
- [ Coach ] Line up again!
A beautiful day.
Yes, it is.
I'm a Buddhist monk from Tibet.
My name is Kenpo Tenzin.
Oh. Oh.
Nice to meet you.
Now I teach here
in Seattle.
Oh, really?
I'm a teacher too. I teach math.
Oh! Like me!
[ Laughs ]
Also I teach astrology.
Mostly astrology.
How unusual.
We Tibetans have a very
advanced system of astrology.
- Excuse me.
- [ Coach ] Go! Play! Go!
Jesse!
May I ask, uh,
what day-- on what day
your son was born?
- On March 1st.
- Wonderful!
And at what hour?
