This YouTube documentary by the BBC was done several years ago, but is worthy of another visit as it gives us a glimpse of the various forms of Buddhism and some of the great monuments and architectural expressions in the different cultures where it took root including our own. I have visited all of the sites except the first two in India and Nepal, some several times, and never cease to be in awe of the devotion and beauty expressed. Enjoy!
