It might lead you to Buddha, but Buddha isn’t God.

It leads you to Buddha-hood i.e. the state of nirvana and one who has triumphed over desire. Buddha is not a God according to Theravada Buddhism (I'm not sure of Tibetan -- isn't that Mahayana?). So, your karma (i.e. your fate or predestiny) based on your past life can lead you to the ultimate bodha status and thence to an arihant. Just like the various Boddhisatvas of Buddha prior to him becoming Gautama
