The spread of Buddhism to India and to other parts of the world

Sagot :

Answer:

Ashoka promoted Buddhist expansion by sending monks to surrounding territories to share the teachings of the Buddha. A wave of conversion began, and Buddhism spread not only through India, but also internationally. ... Today there are approximately 350 million Buddhists in the world.

Buddhism was mainly transmitted to other countries by missionaries, scholars, trade, emigration, and communication networks. The Theravāda sect dominates in South Asia — Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Myanmar. In North Asia, Mahāyāna Buddhism has complemented Chinese Confucianism and Taoism.
