[arjunthabomb]

He was born in northern India, which is now known as Nepal. Though at that time it was a part of India.

BEST VIDEO EVER FOR BUDDHISM MADE TILL DATE...

THANKS GREAT WORK DONE...

[TheNavyGuys]

I wonder if the Lama ever reached enlightenment. That's probably the best way to die as an elder. To rest your soul in peace before you die.

Basic History Lesson

islam: spread by the sword

christianity: spread by the gun

buddhism: spread by the pen

[123456781ad]

buddha was born in nepal... and he is always nepali..

[deuti2]

@123456781ad that time Nepal was not another country; it was also part of ancient India.

[deuti2]

@123456781ad actually, that time, there was not the same concept of a "country" as today we have. it was devided by regions only. many states(countries), many kings. Lumbini and Kapilabastu didn't have the concept of "India" and "Nepal".

[123456781ad]

buddha was born in nepal...

[lalalandgirlify]

As a Buddhist I always wanted to fully understand the story of the Buddha and thanks to this I really feel like I understand it so much more and have a new appreciation for Buddhism. Thank you for uploading!

[Mrkrish1]

Buddha was Born in (lumbini) Nepal........Not in india.

i need to take mental mind medication because the buddha did not want to have sexy fun with maras three sexy daughters . i also need mental mind medication because sexy ladies are inferior when it comes to constructing buildings and technology .

[bunmeng007]

The real holy place of Buddha is within oneself...

[mojorisin08]

I wish all Muslims and Christians become either Hindus or Buddhists. There will be no more oil wars.

[dharmaseed]

Ziggurathas, did you upload the version of this video with music and subtitles as well? I liked this one, but that one seemed to have more of an effect.

[MountAnalogue]

OM GATE GATE PARAGATE PARASAMGATE BODHI SVAHA!

[571jans]

@Inoitspointless I think you may be talking to Samody408!

[findlaymcarthur]

Excellent .

[borninparis]

Thank you for these uploads

[nicelegsbabe]

Isn't it crazy that one person devoted them self to understanding just to teach other people. I think Buddha is a great example of what impact one person can have on the whole world and what one person can achieve. A truly enlightened being.

[Samody408]

No man in this world can make himself holy and righteous before God in Heaven,  only through God Mercy in Christ will their sin be forgiven.

[571jans]

@Samody408 No sin will be forgiven, for sin does not exist outside the minds of men. No such deity exists to forgive it, and such supernatural power has no basis in reality. They are figments of your imagination, and it is only your psychological need for simple answers that leads you to pray over and over despite its poor efficacy. You should move along, you will find few conversions to your superstition in the face of this enlightened, subtle and complex view of the world. Have a nice day.

Does tea count as an intoxicant? It has a calming affect over your body. Yet, the calmness is not created because of your way of thinking, but rather, it is created from an outside source.

[TheGarr123]

Very nice program but there are some things to note..

Buddhism was never lost.... it has always been there since 300BC in countries like Sri Lanka. It is only in India that other religions like hinduism and muslim wiped out buddhism in india.

Also as a prince, siddhartha on one of his 4 outings he sites a monk, yes buddhism existed before he came to preach because before him there were 27 other buddhas who came during trouble times of earth, before prince siddhartha attained enlightment.

[viharamonastry]

@TheGarr123

Sanatan dharma hinduism pre dates buddhism by 2000 years,Lord buddha teachings are well ingrained in teaching of hinduism.Hinduism is not a missionary abrahim religion. All indic religions are adored,respected and loved by native indians!

[TheMischievousbull]

I like the idea of buddisum since it is only religion that has no violence involved.

[ZarathustrasCrown]

@TheMischievousbull depends on the type :) Shaolin Monastery has monks that use Kung Fu...they only ever use it as a means of defending someone and unless someone outright attacks them or some innocent person they're just like any other Buddhist Monk. They also lived in an area where attacks were more likely which I suppose probably had a lot to do with it.

[Dasar7557]

To be fair the only moral budda really taught was this: We are the same as plants, as trees, as people, as the rain that falls. We consist of that which is around us, we are the same as everything. If we destroy something around us, we destroy ourselves. If we cheat another, we cheat ourself. He taught to do love 1 another as ourself. To respect freewill. All changes, the heart is unpredictable. Thats is why he did not hate people having sex, drinking, eating, ect. He loved all as himself!

[Dasar7557]

Budda never taught to follow a moral codes; contrariwise, he taught that astheticism, mortification, celebracy, fasting, ect... was not the way to enlightment. Illumination comes from excepting all that is. He taught that you are one consciousness and that enlightment comes from expressing lovingkindness and compassion for all of creation despite it's ways.

today it is VESAK FULL MOON POYA DAY. The 2,600th.

[omarshinken]

[BIGBOSS1983100]

Thank you, this video has helped calm my mind.

[Ziggurathss]

@BIGBOSS1983100 - that is the richness of the Internet. The educational message.

[gardini100]

[NateWeint]

Thanks man! Great Documentary!

[Ziggurathss]

@NateWeint - Very good young man! Curiosity opens your mind! tx

[Vworldlivecouk]

i find it interesting that there are no dislikes in this series of videos about Buddha's life , kinda says something doesn't

[angellicvoices]

If only the whole world can hear Buddha's teachings. This world may be alot more peaceful.

[Ziggurathss]

@angellicvoices I fear that it will take another thousand year and i hope it wont be to late!

We people should be re-educated! preferably at first all the children of 50 years old.

[MrIndoCanadian]

@angellicvoices That's the problem the Abrahmic religions are very violent.

[Zishan0706]

@MrIndoCanadian People, regardless of faith, are violent.

[popstarfairy999]

Thanks so much!! This was great for my project!

[Ziggurathss]

@popstarfairy999 ;)

[leoshelileo]

It is completely not obligatory to be the follower of it, but in it there are useful things for life.

[ruelf21]

I like Buddhism's teachings. no one can diminish the suffering you can encounter but only yourself can solely avert any infliction.

[Ziggurathss]

@ruelf21 After the pain comes the healing.Time of pain makes you end up richer and stronger. Listening to ourself brings counsel. The ancient soul shows us the way. Therefore i like Buddhism. Its not an inflammatory religion, but a wisdom and philosophy where all is one and one is all. And that is the way we shall have to follow if we want to restore harmony... x

[cedrikledlp]

To become a monk and a recluse is a personal choice which is useless to the people outside the monatery. To meditate does not feed the poor, nor diminish the suffering of those who suffer.

[swtwdc]

What a beautiful actor!

[Sakamottto]

Great! So Marvellous! It seems it's more related to a phylosophy and it concern for all humans. I had to do a quick research about the hindu Buddhist terms said in the documentary though :) And I'm afraid I'll need to go further! Really Intersting * Thanks for sharing it ! *

[BritishTexan]

Thanks Ziggs :)
