    One of Buddha's teachings is that you should never believe everything that you are told (Kalama Sutra) and you should use logical reasoning to seek truth. This video is a fine example of that teaching.

    A little point to avoid misunderstanding. As a prince budda had a luxurious life.

But he understood neither extreme luxury nor extreme pain going to take you to Enlightenment and followed the MIDDLE PATH (not extreme luxury nor extreme pain)

Buddha told him not to believe anything just because it is wrote, passed on by generations or told by anybody including Buddha himself, "unless you do not understand by yourself". You can find more on this in "Kalama Sutra" in Buddhist cannon.

      Gautam is second name given him after his mother maha maya devi died...Maha prajapati gautami is his second mother sister of his own mother maha maya devi...Mr Ap dont comment non sense...every bodhisatvas left their homes in the search for answer
      Many Bodhisattvas have been born in this world Last bodhisatva is prince siddhartha gautam was born in nepal but he rise as buddha in indian state
      let me tell you that Siddhartha name has no meaning like hindu name does so don't try to mix buddhist ceremonial name into hindu name...Buddhism rise from india and it was destroyed in india in very first place by muslim empires and by hindus brahmin..
      Hindu people stole buddha name as vishnu actually buddha is not a hindu god
      Buddha was even worshipped by hindu god call baali
      Baali is vishnu call in ancient time so dont drag buddhism into hindu...

      I'm a buddhist too and I have a theory regarding the miracles. I think back then people are more inclined towards holy men practicing miracles than a normal person achieving enlightenment. You can look at Jesus and Hindu gods for example. So in order to gain more followers, his disciples had to make up Buddha to be this holy, enlightened being that can perform miracles.

    Very nice and informative video ... While historians may doubt the historicity of Buddha's teachings, the Buddha did not want his disciples to accept the teachings just because he says so .... He encouraged free inquiry ... In the Kalama Sutta, the Buddha exhorts to Kalamas:
    "Come, Kalamas. Do not go upon what has been acquired by repeated hearing; nor upon tradition; nor upon rumor; nor upon what is in a scripture; nor upon surmise; nor upon an axiom; nor upon specious reasoning; nor upon a bias towards a notion that has been pondered over; nor upon another's seeming ability; nor upon the consideration, 'The monk is our teacher.' Kalamas, when you yourselves know: 'These things are bad; these things are blamable; these things are censured by the wise; undertaken and observed, these things lead to harm and ill,' abandon them."
    "Come, Kalamas. Do not go upon what has been acquired by repeated hearing; nor upon tradition; nor upon rumor; nor upon what is in a scripture; nor upon surmise; nor upon an axiom; nor upon specious reasoning; nor upon a bias towards a notion that has been pondered over; nor upon another's seeming ability; nor upon the consideration, 'The monk is our teacher.' Kalamas, when you yourselves know: 'These things are good; these things are not blamable; these things are praised by the wise; undertaken and observed, these things lead to benefit and happiness,' enter on and abide in them."
    The most basic teachings of the Tathagata are The Four Noble Truths and The Noble Eightfold Path and these can be observed through meditation that is Vipassana. Vipassana is the core of Buddha's teachings.

People from the Indus valley civilization(One of the oldest) followed Hinduism. Hinduism isn't about one god or one way, there are four different ways to attain Moksha(Liberation). Loving God and all the creatures is just one among many. Coming to the point if Hindiusm is mythology? It's not. Quran is around 1400 years old. Whereas, Vedas( Sacred Hindu text) is much much older. Some estimates are 20,000 years older. The dating on current ones are 5,000 years old before that everything was taught orally.

    Great Video, you have researched well. The only error I could find was that Suttas aren't necessarily a short wise saying, a lot of Buddhist Sutta's from the Pali Canon are in-depth lectures/ teachings the Buddha gave that are multiple pages long.

    A very informative presentation.
    During the time of The Buddha, there was another Saint called Mahaveera, who started a movement similar to Buddhism- Jainism.
    Jainism also talks about the presence of The Buddha. And both their stories are very similar.

      Similarly Buddha mentions 27 Buddha's before him. Taṇhaṅkara Buddha, Medhaṅkara Buddha, Saraṇkara Buddha, Dīpankara Buddha, Koṇdañña Buddha, Maṅgala Buddha, Sumana Buddha, Revata Buddha, Sobhita Buddha, Anomadassi Buddha, Paduma Buddha, Nārada Buddha, Padumuttara Buddha, Sumedha Buddha, Sujāta Buddha, Piyadassi Buddha, Atthadassi Buddha, Dhammadassī Buddha, Siddhattha Buddha, Tissa Buddha, Phussa Buddha, Vipassī Buddha, Sikhī Buddha, Vessabhū Buddha, Kakusandha Buddha, Koṇāgamana Buddha and Kashyapa Buddha.

He describes rhe religion, societies and creation myths of everyone he meets, as well as his military and romantic adventures. Great read, and includes excellent historical context for this amazing time in history. He is supposedly the grandson of Zoroaster and meets the Buddha, Confucius, Herodotus, Socrates, Xerxes, Darius, etc; as well as Other kings, queens, philosophers, madmen, and other actual and fictional people. of that time.

    The Lord Buddha's teachings are directly focused towards psychological improvement of the people. They are educating people on how to change thinking patterns through developing cognition, wisdom etc.and to maintain a calm and quiet life style which paves the way for living peace ☮️ & harmony with others (humans and animals) in the society.
    In order to the above, it is practised to behave on perception which created by the observations collected through five senses ( eye, ear, nose, tongue and body) because of five senses are physical and could mislead.
