In January 1996, three years after this movie was released, a four-year-old boy from Seattle actually was chosen as the reincarnation of beloved Lama Deschund Rinpochet, and relocated to Nepal, to be groomed as a spiritual teacher.
For the scene in the forest with the ascetics, where Siddartha becomes emaciated from lack of food, Keanu Reeves went on a crash diet of oranges and water.
Final film in director Bernardo Bertolucci's "oriental trilogy", following The Last Emperor (1987) and The Sheltering Sky (1990).
The film is dedicated to Francis Bouygues, a French industrialist who was to produce this film before he died in 1993.
Marlon Brando was approached about playing Siddartha.
"Lama Norbu: [Narrating] One day Siddhartha heard an old musician on a passing boat speaking to his people. Old Musician: If you tighten the string too much it will snap and if you leave it too slack, it won't play. Lama Norbu: [continues narrating] Suddenly, Siddhartha realized that these simple words held the great truth, and that in all these years he had been following the wrong path."
"Lama Norbu: There is no empty room when the soul is full... ... you learn that in a prison cell! *laughs*"
