DESCRIPTION :

Gautama Buddha, the historical Buddha, lived between 563 and 483 BC in the area known now as the Indo-Nepalese region. As a bodhisattva, he had passed through thousands of existences before coming to Earth for his ultimate transmigration. This last lifetime he began as a son of the King of the realm Sakya, Sudhodana, who ruled at Kapilavastu, in Ancient India on the border of present-day Nepal, and was born in a village called Lumbini into the warrior tribe called the Sakyas (from where he derived the title Sakyamuni, meaning "Sage of the Sakyas").

The Lion Army "Wildlife Documentary" [Full Documentary] 

DESCRIPTION

 In the Kruger National Park there is a hunting force that rivals anything else in Africa: a lion pride, 26 members strong! Despite the females’ hunting prowess, nine adolescent males dominate every kill. Bigger and stronger, they bully their way to the best spots on the carcass. The pride’s two powerful males could easily enforce discipline, but with them away on patrol, the unruly youngsters are running riot. When eight strong lionesses split from the megapride, food pressure mounts as the remaining females struggle to cater to their sons’ growing demands. Unfocused, uncoordinated and ineffective hunters, the youngsters offer little support to ease the strain. When a lioness is severely injured during a hippo hunt, the adult females call to the pride males for help. The males' visits may be infrequent but as the head of the family it’s their duty to protect the females and respond if help is needed. During a heated food fight, they drive three juveniles from the pride forever. A new attitude grips the remaining youngsters; they begin to help on the hunts and succeed in bringing down prey. As time marches on, pride dynamics change again. New cubs are welcomed into the family and the pride males return home. This is Lion Army - a real life soap opera that tells the stor
