“When someone seeks," said Siddhartha, "then it easily happens that his eyes see only the thing that he seeks, and he is able to find nothing, to take in nothing because he always thinks only about the thing he is seeking, because he has one goal, because he is obsessed with his goal. Seeking means: having a goal. But finding means: being free, being open, having no goal.”―Siddhartha

But I think it is only important to love the world, not to despise it, not for us to hate each other, but to be able to regard the world and ourselves and all beings with love, admiration and respect.”― Siddhartha

Throughtout each film it feels like each character was facing personal issues they wanted to overcome so they went through a major change. Each character was faced with challenges that made them question the lifes they were truly living. Through each journey we watch each charcter learn lessons on how to be better people and find anwsers to their questions. At the end of each story you can see how each story and values change. Christopher realizes life is to be shared with people you love, not in isolation. The family in Little Buddha learns to open up to the wrold they live in and be a happier family. In Siddartha he turns into a wise man who learned to listen to the river as his guide. And in 7 years in Tibet, he learns to be a better man to his family and a kinder person overall.
