The Tibetan New Year is approaching, and the old lama and the young lama are preparing for the celebration.
In the evening, the young lama goes to help at the house of the little Living Buddha. He watches some news and the Tibetan opera *Prince Zhi Mei Geng Dun* on TV, becoming deeply captivated.
On New Year's Eve, the young lama excitedly talks to the old lama about watching TV at the little Living Buddha’s house. The old lama then tells the young lama the story of Prince Zhi Mei Geng Dun.
On the first day of the New Year, the young lama's father comes to the monastery to pay his respects and takes the young lama home to celebrate the New Year. The young lama's father gives the old lama, who is about to go on a pilgrimage to Lhasa, some money for travel expenses.
