Pien, a good looking nutcase falls head over heels in love with Panieng, Perm�s daughter and a beautiful psychic. He often peeps on Panieng when she�s working and always gets beat up for that. Perm�s Ashram is actually a front for an organized crime gang defrauding people. They make a good living from people�s belief in the psychic power. When Father Teng starts to guide people back to the religious path, their income is dwindling away. Perm considers Father Teng his number one enemy and plans to get rid of him.
Perm joins force with Tui, a bad village council member, in slandering Father Teng and attacking his followers. They also trick Song, the temple caretaker, into setting Father Teng up with a woman and make it appears as if he is caught red handed by the villagers. The evil plan goes well and Father Teng is finally driven out of the temple. Panieng is very upset about this and has a quarrel with her dad. The villagers eventually know the truth and want to vandalize the ashram. Song asks Father Teng to help fix the situation. The people agree to halt their angry army only if Father Teng can call on rain. Having heard the weather forecast of a rain storm earlier, Father Teng promises them rain.

³This movie is just the antidote the world needs.²
The Celestine Prophecy is a spiritual adventure film chronicling the
discovery of ancient scrolls in the rainforests of Peru. The prophecy and
its nine key insights predict a worldwide awakening, arising within all
religious traditions, that moves humanity toward a deeper experience of
spirituality. The film features an international ensemble cast including
Matthew Settle, Thomas Kretschmann, Sarah Wayne Callies, Annabeth Gish,
Hector Elizondo, Joaquim de Almeida, Jurgen Prochnow and Obba Babatundé.
Using an approach that is part adventure tale, part parable, and imbued with
intriguing and exhilarating music, the film tells the story of John Woodson
(Mathew Settle), whose life is at a crossroads. He is about to experience a
dramatic and profound metamorphosis. Through a mysterious set of
coincidences, he finds himself on an adventure to Peru in search of ancient
scrolls, known as the Celestine Prophecy. Resistant at first, skeptical and
unsure, John finds that with every step he takes, each person he encounters
leads him to a new understanding. It is only in this letting go to a higher
consciousness that he uncovers life's true purpose and his own destiny.
