- On the eve of the millennium, Oscar-winning screenwriter and author of ‘Eyes Wide Shut’ Frederic Raphael embarks on four remarkable pilgrimages, seeking to answer the fundamental questions concerning God, religion, dogma and the modern world. He begins his search in time-honoured detective-show style: by visiting God’s last known address. From Jerusalem he seeks out Buddhism and Islam in Asia, Catholicism in Spain and finally Puritanism and fundamentalist extremes in the USA.

The Buddha was the Tathagata, the first arahant, the perfectly enlightened one. He taught the world the Four Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path, amongst many other important and necessary factors of this universe we live in on our way towards nibbana.
This Buddha was this era’s light in the world showing us the way out of the endless cycles of suffering through samsara.
If Buddha was enlightened, he would have known that Jesus Christ was coming to save the world from their sins and not been deceived. The Bible says there's a way that seems right into men and death and judgment follow.
@@josephtabar492 The Buddha hand waved away, literally, such questions since they do not pertain to man’s escape from dukkha and samsara. Let go of the hatred in your heart. Both Buddhism and Christianity teach you to do so.
One of the first Atheists Buddha said that the only God that exists is between your two ears. Over the centuries Buddhism has been distorted.
Buddahism is a way a life we are the universe the universe is us
@@Kodousinx Thats what makes us special, we are the same
So Buddha is consciousness? Is that what’s being implied? Real question 🙋🏽♂️
@@exia00z57 haha, perfectly put!
@@johngotti6352 Buddhism is Awareness and that implies consciousness.
Awareness is timeless and doesn´t get fixed on concepts.
Weird documentary on Buddha - only a little on him at beginning, and then the rest is on other religions. ???
First thing he says is wrong. Bangkok is a small part of Krung Thep Which means Gods City.
A small epileptic spark on the frontal cortex makes men see visions. Those are the prophets. Buddha is not one of them. Just a simple person explaining the virtues of kindness and the peaceful way. Be one in the universe.
Buddhism is a practical comcrete day life and living it. No guarantee of salvation neither life after death
I just abhor when these documentaries don't put subtitles or a translator for when folks are not speaking English.
Those who made this film should study the similarities between Buddhism and Christianity. 5th B.C. is the life of Buddha, 3rd B.C. a guy named Alexander the Great established the route between Eastern Europe and India. In between there is Israel. Christianity is the child between Judaism and Buddhism.
If one is to explain Thailand Buddhism , then Bangkok is not the place to start or end. My Thai wife is a devout Buddhist and myself an entrenched Atheist , but there's no conflict of interests. I once asked her what does she get out of paying homage to a lump of concrete , her answer explained everything , its good for me. Living in rural N.E.Thailand as I do and only have a few expat friends and with Covid scaring the shit out of everyone see them rarely. Because my wife does a lot for the Temple , an extremely important Wat at that , she is well in with the Head Monk. I was invited to have an audience with him along with my wife and two lady friends. I sat on a chair listening to him bellyaching about something, and the oldest of the ladies was answering him back. I said to my wife, you told me that women mustn't speak to the Monk , Oh she said the old girl could as that's her Nephew . Have visited numerous Temples and newer ones are trying to outdo others regarding design innovation , but in some ways a con , as many of the construction components are prefabricated . A couple of years ago the area suffered bad flooding when a large lake burst its banks , water in some isolated villages over roof top height . The Temples response was immediate , kitchens set up and hoards of volunteers cooking and packing food for the Army to deliver , But most impressed me was the convoys of lorries arriving from Bangkok a mere 650 km away loaded with food clothes and blankets etc all donated by other Temples.
Your wife should ask u why u believe we are here by random accident? Nothing could be more stupid than that. None of the great geniuses in history were atheist. Because the smarter u get the more u realize that atheism and fundamentalist religion are both wrong.
@@happierabroad Its quite obvious that you are not one of the great geniuses . The ancient Greek scholars believed in scores of different Gods , as did the Chinese , Indians , Egyptians , and every tribe you care to name . What they shared in common was , superstitious fear , the life giving blood to all religions . You can believe whatever you want , but don't think yourself smarter then me.
Born in my country Nepal and light of Asia.
Nothing in this documentary is related to it's title!!
The Buddha in one of his many discourses spoke about some powerful Gods/Kings of deities resided in certain blissful, refined-form heavens, out of egotistical conceit, ignorance of who they truly are, and an urge to be worshipped, hallucinated and proclaimed to all that they were indeed the "Creator and Supreme Father of heavens and earth", and that the many heavenly beings who happened to be born after him believe in such a fantasy and later came down to earth to expound such a belief. The Buddha says the creating force of this composite body and mind comes from the collective volitional intent of all living beings as a whole in accord with natural laws. Never is there a 'personified' supernatural being who can do all this.
He was IRISH ☘️ praise the saints.
He was a teacher
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT BUDDHISM COME TO MYANMAR
no
The title of this documentary is misleading, and the point of the documentary kept changing throughout. At the very end where the host starts interviewing himself, that’s proof that it was always just about him and how he thinks Christianity is the more superior religion. That’s the first time I’ve ever seen a host do that on a documentary, as if he was saving himself as the final authority on the topic.
completely misleading title

Beautiful! Thank you➰🌀💠
Not sure why "souls" or "reincarnation" was mentioned...
Wasn't expecting (in a documentary ostensibly about Buddhism) to see a presenter whose ignorance of, and contempt for Islam is so palpable. But then, he radiates an [unearned] air of smug superiority throughout. Very disappointing.
Interesting, thanks. The number of different
Interesting, thanks. The number of different ways in which we humans delude ourselves is fascinating.
Buddha and Jesus are good buds.
The picture of the Thai monarchs are from the previous reign, this documentary must be old. At least 5 yrs older than the upload date. So who's the real Buddha?
We all are the real Buddha
Whosoever he was but he had better answers for the question humanity is facing and had more Liberal views than all of the Abrahamic religions Messengers put together that came after him.... Inshort his teachings makes more sense than those of the 1st testament , 2nd testament and so called book of peace (Quran)..
So saltyy
👍🙏
Buddhism is fun to experiment but I’m not sure that’s always the way to go
Like Jesus, Buddha was human. Nothing more or less. He just taught us all how to live a better life and not suffer so much.
The vast majority of people fail to understand that very thing. Mostly because they have been lied to for lifetimes. In order to be emotionally manipulated.
Someone pointed out that Adam, Atun, Oum , I am are the same expression. Another interesting thing to notice is that they are from Indian philosophy in the east and Egyptian to the west. And of course Jewish. Which is between the two. It is also of note, I think that the atom is the irreducible matter.
Whatever lies on the other side of this life, man wasn't meant to know. All that matters now is how you live your life and what you do with the time you have.
The secret of live? Living it, and living it well.
But yeah, Buddha never proclaimed himself a god or the son of one. I believe Jesus was the son of God like all of us are the sons and daughters of God. The messages gets construed with ideology.
@@michaelmacleod6517 Is that the purpose of life? How do you know? Also, what is living life well?
@@evolvedape2161 Living it well is open to you. It's your life, therefore you have the choice to make it as good or bad as you desire it to be.
Click bait title
Buddha. Was born in nepal ✌✌✌
His mother was from Nepal he was born in lumbini province,nepl his religion is Hinduism, he once said he didn't create Buddhism his followers created it.
There is no god worthy of worship but ( ALLAH ).There is no true religion but ( ISLAM )
Karma I believe Jesus said you reap what you sow that's karma. The God of this world has named Satan tells you 95% of truth of something less the 5% that's going to kill you and keep you separated from God for eternity
Bollocks interpretation from western approach. Another sickos
Not trying to be mean he's just another false God Satan
There's a difference Jesus was God in human form Buddha was the prophet
Haha. Buddha explained who He was and he never said he was a creator god nor a prophet.
Such crap. Im catholic too but this is just bs. Im highly spiritual but this doesnt make any sense.
Jesus was a prophet. He was the son of god by teaching the way of life. But hes not literal creator.
There was also evidence of a 2000 year old ancienr bible found in southern turkey. It states incredible things. the paper was lambsheet and was conserved into perfection. Analysts preserved it and confirmed its real.
Do u wanna know what it said on some sides:
IT STATED jesus was sent to far east asia (in young years) to get taught the way of life and spiritual enlightenment.
If u compare this to the way ppl talk about how jesus was supposed to be it makes perfect sense:
The wise enlighted calm pacifistic and philosophic jesus/isa... litteraly WHAT BHUDDISM IS.
Np thank me later
AND I BEG U STOP CALLING JESUS GOD FFS. Cringe af
@@xeamus5329 What is the name of this Bible? I would like to research it.Thanks.
@@smallhouseinthemeadow6131 wdym name of the bible. Its in the ancient hebreic language and well i can search the link for it if u want
There is only one true God ( Yahweh ), who is in heaven. Soon every knee will bow to Jesus. The end is near; everything happening now it Yahweh trying to get your attention. Repent; accept Jesus as your Lord and savior. Jesus will return from out of the clouds on a white horse with his saints. Anyone else claiming to be the messiah is trying to decieve you.
God created us to his image. so literally we are all mini gods and we need to revolt against the gods who tricked us for being their slaves
