"Searching for the Lotus-Born Master" is a documentary that explores the life of Padmasambhava, the father of Vajrayana or Tibetan Buddhism. It also raises the question: was he the father of quantum physics?

"Searching for the Lotus-Born Master” was filmed over an intensive six-month period by Shambhala Studio. The expedition teams scoured the Himalayan region, crossing five countries in extreme climates, traveling a total of over 20,000 kilometers. The team followed his handprints and footprints left across the Himalayas, scaled the mountains he crossed, discovered the sacred lakes where he performed magic and explored caves where he practiced tantric meditation. They sought the wisdom of great lamas, dedicated scholars, and scientific innovators. They wondered if the legend could be proven true.

The Lotus-Born Master had eight "manifestations" as depicted in Thangkas, murals and statues. The expedition team sought to understand the quantum energy fields behind each manifestation.
