Life of the Buddha

An excellent BBC production on the Life of the Buddha. Very well done.



Here is the YouTube page where you can watch the remaining segments;

Life of the Buddha.

Quite a fine piece of work; the presentation of the Buddha's teachings is sympathetic and accurate, the look and feel of the dramatic scenes are believable.

Any points of criticism I could make border on hair-splitting. For instance, I don't think the Buddha on his return to Kapilavastu would have bowed to Yasodhara. And I did spot one anachronism; Prince Siddhattha riding a horse with stirrups.
