The Legend of Namo Buddha
I'm so hungry that I can't feed my cubs.
Located in the Kathmandu Valley, Namo Buddha is one of the holiest pilgrimage sites in Nepal. It is the place where, according to legend, the historical Buddha [as the Bodhisattva] in a previous life sacrificed [parts of] his body to feed a starving tigress and her cubs [Mankiala]. This [unlikely but legendary] act of supremecompassion (karuṇā) echoes through the monastery to this day.

Buddhism in Vietnam (Vietnamese Đạo Phật, 道佛 or Phật Giáo, 佛教), as practiced by the Vietnamese people, is a form of East Asian Mahayana Buddhism, according to 2019 figures [1].
Buddhism is the second religion in Vietnam (though arguably the first since the U.S. Department of State's 2023 Report on International Religious Freedom cites Vietnam's "White Book" that the Buddhist population increased from nearly 10 million in 2008 to approximately 14 million in 2021, which accounts for 13.3% of the overall population of Vietnam).
Korean Beauty Expo influences the Vietnamese
According to the Vietnamese government's 2019 National Population and Housing Census, approximately 4.6 million individuals officially identified as Buddhists, representing 4.8% of the total population at that time.
Roman Catholics represented 6.1% of the total population in the same 2019 census.
The vast majority (83.6%) in this officially atheistic communist country stated that they have no [organized] religion or practice [the traditional] folk religion. More
(Ancient Sites Girl) The Red Pyramid is a prototype of the Great Pyramid of Giza in Northern Africa near "Mars" (aka Cairo)? The "Bat Pyramid" (el-heram el-watwaat), also the North Pyramid, is full of urine-streaked walls but has no bats now. It is called the Red Pyramid instead.
Russia's most disputed region in the Pacific: Sakhalin Island
(Eli from Russia) Nov. 22, 2025: SAKHALIN. This is the biggest island of Russia – Sakhalin. Throughout centuries the island has passed hands many times between the Soviet Union (USSR) and Japan (Nippon), yet a formal peace treaty has still never been signed.
Join me as we explore the island’s Japanese heritage, meet a unique community of Korean Russians, and dive into the rich untamed nature of Sakhalin.

(Oriental Pearl) Premiered Oct. 9, 2025: TOKYO. Is Japan cooked? I (Oriental Pearl) have seen a lot of changes here in the last few years. And things seem to be getting worse.
(Broke But Rich) Feb. 22, 2025: Dive into the dark side of Japan with us as we explore the world of "standing girls" ("sign girls")—infantilized females who wait in public streets to sell themselves. This isn't the typical nightlife scene. Buddhist Japan’s unique culture -- and attitude towards sex (as with the ancient geisha courtesans) -- has created an unexpected environment where this underground trade operates in plain sight. But why does it happen? And what’s the real story behind these women?
(Millicent Rose) Premiered Aug. 14, 2025: I took a year out from my degree and went to India for six months, alone. It was the most transformative time of my life, I went with a one-way ticket to do yoga teacher training and went on to travel seven states, learn Buddhist meditation, and fully immerse myself in the culture, food, people, and religion(s). These eight minutes barely begin to dream of scratching the surface of the experiences I had, but putting these clips together made the already far away dream feel more of a reality.

Hilton portrays Shangri-La as a mystical, harmonious valley, gently guided from a Buddhist lamasery, enclosed in the western end of the Kunlun Mountain [1].
In the novel, the people who live in Shangri-La are almost immortal, living hundreds of years beyond the normal lifespan and only very slowly ageing in appearance [possibly in our Hollow Earth, called Agartha, or on another dimension within this world].
Shangri-La has become synonymous with any earthly paradise, particularly a mythical Himalayan Buddhist utopia -- an enduringly happy land, isolated from the world.
Ancient Tibetan Buddhist scriptures mention Nghe-Beyul Khembalung [2], one of seven utopian beyuls which Tibetan Buddhists believe were established in the 9th century AD by Padmasambhava as hidden, sacred places of refuge for Buddhists during times of strife [3]. More
