What does the Buddha such a powerful figure in Buddhism? (Other than he invented it!) And why the eight fold path is so important?
What does the Buddha such a powerful figure in Buddhism? The teachings of the Buddha, the Dharma, are not something that he invented. Rather, it is something that must, as the law of gravity, to be discovered. In the Buddhist tradition, the Buddha is highly venerated, because he discovered the Dharma help with no one to him. The proper term for this is samma-sam-Buddho (fully self-awakened one) in the Pali language. The second reason why he is so highly revered, having achieved Nirvana, he lived an exemplary life. He did not know covet nothing, but only live in peace. If someone needed his help, he went out of their way to help them. Read the story the Angulimala for example. It prevents wars between the neighboring tribes, helped a woman who lost her son, and so on. Because he had dropped his selfish, trivial nature, he became the perfect altruists. As the Eightfold Path, and why it helps, let me quote from the Buddha's first sermon: "And what is the average Path realized by the Tathagata [] of the Buddha that - producing vision, producing knowledge - leads to calm, to direct knowledge, self-awakening Unbinding? Precisely this Noble Eightfold Path: right view, right resolve, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right Concentration. This is the middle path through the Tathagata is clear that - producing vision, producing knowledge - leads to calm, to direct knowledge, the self-awakening non-committal. "Found here: http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/sn/sn56/sn56.011.than.html said in short, is the Eightfold Path and the essence of the Middle Way the Middle Path is the path away from the extremes of hedonism and self-flagellation. Hope that helps.

It sometimes feels as though the Lovin' Spoonful have been reduced to a footnote in the history of rock & roll. Yet few of their contemporaries could match the likes of "Daydream," "Summer in the City," and the transcendent "Do You Believe in Magic?"--a song that can still turn January into June...

In many ways Little Buddha is a companion piece to Bernardo Bertolucci's The Last Emperor. A beautiful travelogue and history lesson unfolds in the two parts of this film: a historical text of Siddhartha (Keanu Reeves) and the contemporary quest of Lama Norbu (Ying Ruocheng), who believes he has found the reincarnation of his former teacher in a Seattle child...
Qigong: 18 Buddha Hands promises viewers an introduction to qigong (pronounced "chee-gung"), the relaxing Chinese exercises meant to tone the body and the mind. Instructor Larry Johnson leads the audience through the simple stances and repeated movements of the 18 Buddha Hands form effectively, but production values can be a little distracting--the narration occasionally shifts in volume, and a long spoken introduction to the history of qigong is marred by dodgy sound and irrelevant natural vistas...
