Story of Buddhism Film 01 Path of Compassion by Benoy K Behl 

I am so grateful that I came across this site. Behl is a cultured gentleman. Everything he says is clear, coherent and harmonious. You understand everything. Greetings from a Swedish Soto-Zen Buddhist (although I feel at home in all traditions).

Superb video (1st in a series) on the life of the Buddha, and illustrated with countless works of art. A must see for everyone.

Thank you Mr Benoy K Behl for sharing your very nice film here.

Wonderful! Thank you for sharing your work!

Thank you for making The Story of Buddhism series available for all to view.

I'm so glad to find your channel. Thank you.

I am waiting for your video sir. Thank you for uploading.

Clear and great documentation

Buddhist sculpture are so unique. Here I can't make a face of mud but monks back at that time made minute sculptures of buddha makes me feel nostalgic

I just started watching; this is going to be excellent, I can tell, made by an Indian historian. I'm fascinated by the early history of Buddhism in India. I had no idea Buddhism was so dominant in India at one point; it was huge. Thank you, Sir.

Sir please never remove these videos from youtube. I am in love with this channel.

Namaste 🙏💐, Tasidek from Nepal

If anybody like to know more about the life of Siddhattha Gotama (sanskr.: Siddhartha Gautama), she or he might read the very interesting book from a wellknown German scholar Dr. H.W. Schumann "The Historical Buddha". And, for them, who like to see some pictures from some historical places where the Buddha lived, may read also the book "Stätten des historischen Buddha" (not yet translated into English). But the very best will be to go by yourself on a pilgrimage. So yo may find out what might be true regarding the Enlightened One --- and what are just legends, grown up during many centuries.

The world is burning by blind belief and superstitions, Buddhism is only hope for awakening and peace freedom for mankind

Ambedkar is 21c buddha🙏

The early stories of Siddhattha Gotama, sadly, are most likely legendary. He was probably simply of high caste (not a majod prince) and those four signs may have been representations of general areas he had seen (old age, sickness, asceticism, etc.). However, after this, the stories of him aa a śramaṇa (non-Vedic ascetic) seem to be concise and probably not legendary. Still, regardless, this does not depreciate the value of this magnificent work. Sādhu, Sādhu, Sādhu. 🙏

kapilvashtu is in present day Nepal not in Uttar Pradesh.

I would like to say in a lot of your videos in this series you repeatedly say that Buddhism is about transcending the material world to reach the eternal formless that I assume you refer it to as Nirvana/Nibbana. Such an idea in fact finds little support in the most ancient Buddhist teachings as the formless realm is also a realm that the Buddhists aim to transcend. Nirvana or the unconditioned is transcending all concepts conceivable by words, not here, not there, and not in between. And Nirvana is not a unmanifest substratum or underlying reality akin to the eternal Self, Pure Consciousness or Essence of the Buddha that later Buddhist schools try to attribute.
