Die Ribhu Gita ist eines der Hauptwerke der indischen Vedanta-Philosophie. Darin ist die Quintessenz dieser Philosophie enthalten. Sie besagt, dass alles das eine Selbst ist. Es gibt nur ein Selbst, das wir alle miteinander teilen. Nur wer bereit ist, auf alles Persönliche zu verzichten, wird dazu in der Lage sein, sich auf dieses kosmische Selbst einzulassen.

Aber wo genau ist "zu Hause?" Und könnte man sich nicht vielleicht auch in der Fremde daheim fühlen? Der kleine Buddha überlegt, was "zu Hause" sein wirklich bedeutet. Dazu begibt er sich von seinem Lieblingsplatz unter dem Bodhi-Baum auf eine weitere Reise und damit zugleich auf die abenteuerliche Suche nach der eigenen Heimat. Unterwegs trifft der kleine Buddha über die Begegnung mit verschiedenen Menschen auch auf ganz unterschiedliche Ansichten und Vorstellungen vom eigenen Zuhause: "Zuhause" kann ein Ort sein, aber auch die ganze Welt, eine einzelne Person, vielleicht nur ein Gefühl.
