Life of the Buddha
October 10th, 2007BBC did a documentary a while ago on the life of the Buddha…..obviously it has surfaced on youtube :). It is a nice introduction to Buddhism, with some history some talk about the benefits of meditation.

What I always find a little annoying about the Buddha is the way everyone glosses over him leaving his wife and newborn child. Most guys do that and get chastised for having a mid-life crisis or something. But not the Buddha……he gets to leave his obligations with impunity. That never really sat right with me, guru or not.
