Wrapped in myth and mystery, the Lotus-Born Master played a key role in the exchange of culture and science between South Asia and China at the time, and is credited as being the founder of Tibetan Buddhism. The film Searching for the Lotus-Born Master also tries to discover whether he was also the father of quantum physics.
Throughout the journey Brahm's team interviewed technology innovators, which makes this film about the Himalayan region very different from others. The team was seeking to verify a connection between the traditional study of natural phenomena and astrology with some of the cutting-edge ideas that scientists in the field of quantum physics are studying today.
Searching for the Lotus-Born Master was co-produced by William Lo and Laurence Brahm, with support from David Lee and Sherry Pan and a production, post-production and research team of thirty-five people based in China as well as teams in Nepal.
