This BBC documentary covers the life of a young man named Siddhartha Gautama, a young prince from the northwest frontier of India. Siddhartha Gautama determined to discover the reasons people suffer in their lives and found the path to solve the problems of suffering (dukkha).
Having found it by reaching enlightenment -- solving the problems of rebirth, old age, sickness, death, impermanence, and disappointment, he returned to our world.
He returned to his former family and country, to teach the path to the end of suffering for all people who seek the way to enlightenment.
Do not believe in something because you are told to. Do not believe in something because a holy person said it. Do not believe in something because you read it from a book. Follow and practice the teaching if it brings happiness to you and others then follow it.
