Was Buddhism created by Asian people, was Buddhism founded by Chinese, and when was it founded?

Everyone has their own understanding of things they have not seen. Therefore, the images of the many Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Arhats of Buddhism are of course different in different countries. Buddhism was founded more than 2,500 years ago, and no one had ever seen what the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats looked like at that time, but in order to facilitate the creation of statues, it was necessary for everyone to create an image that they thought was reasonable in their hearts.

Since different people have different ideologies, the image is not the same. The Buddha statues in Southeast Asia are different from those in the Han region of China, while the Buddha statues in the Tibetan region are the same. The most famous Avalokiteshvara is actually a man, and the Indian statue of Avalokiteshvara has a mustache.

And when he came to China, the Chinese, according to their own wishes, changed him into a kind woman. Buddha statue, in fact, is just a concept, seeing a certain statue, is to make people think of the Buddha statue corresponding to the person, not to force you to accept "this is the real Buddha and Bodhisattva look, other images are wrong". So in this respect, many of the images of Buddhism were not created by the Chinese, or not only by the Chinese.

Buddhism, of course, belongs to the people of Asia, but Buddhism is the place of ancient India, now Nepal.

Buddhism is supposed to have been created by the people of Asia because it was originally from ancient India, now Nepal.

Buddhism is created by Shakyamuni, who has gone through immeasurable calamities and immeasurable world experiences, and the 32 phases of the Buddha, the great supernatural powers, are not something that ordinary people can give birth to.

Buddhism [fó jiào].

Buddhism was founded more than 2,500 years ago by Siddhartha Gautama, a prince of the ancient Indian kingdom of Kapila (in present-day Nepal) (see Buddha's Birthday). It is widely believed in the West that Buddhism originated in India, and India is in fact trying to create an image of a "Buddhist holy land". This has led many people to have the illusion that the Buddha was born in India, which has always been dissatisfied with the Nepalese people.

1] Buddhism is also one of the three major religions in the world. Buddha, which means "enlightened one". The Buddha is also known as the Buddha, the Offering, the Omniscient, the Enlightened Foot, the Good Death, the Worldly Solution, the Supreme Master, the Tempering Husband, the Heavenly Teacher, and the World-Honored One.

Buddhism values the progress and enlightenment of the human mind and morality. The purpose of practicing Buddhism is to follow Siddhartha's method of enlightenment, to discover the truth of life and the universe, and ultimately to transcend birth, death, suffering, and all afflictions, and to attain ultimate liberation.

The new name of the Buddha's surname is Gautama (S. Gautama gautama， p.gotama), formerly known as Qu Tan; Because he belonged to the sākya clan, people also called him Shakyamuni.

Chinese name.

3. In addition to the relatively large development of localized Buddhism in the Han Dynasty, Buddhism with local Chinese colors was formed in the Tang Dynasty. The folk customs of the Tang Dynasty were very open, and the Tang Dynasty has always paid more attention to the integration and re-development of thought, so when Buddhism was introduced into the Tang Dynasty, it was integrated with the local religion of the Tang Dynasty to form a new Buddhism, and the founder of this new Buddhism is actually our countrymen, but it is very different from the original Buddhism.

The year after their return, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty ordered the construction of a Buddhist temple on the outskirts of the capital Luoyang. Because the Buddhist scriptures brought back to the Central Plains were carried on white horses, this Buddhist temple was named "White Horse Temple" for commemoration after it was built.

However, because Tang Wuzong believed in Taoism, he ordered the destruction of Buddhism, which caused Buddhism to suffer a catastrophe. After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the chaotic period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms began, so Buddhism, which had suffered a catastrophe, could not be restored. This state of affairs did not change until the establishment of the Song Dynasty, but it was always difficult to return to the prosperous state of the Sui and Tang dynasties.

Although Chinese Buddhism originated from Indian Buddhism, it has already formed its own style after about 2,000 years of development, so many customs are quite different from Indian Buddhism.

Buddhism was founded not by the Chinese but by the Indians, around the 5th century BC.

Buddhism was not founded by the Chinese, but by a royal prince living in present-day Nepal, the famous Gautama. Siddhartha, the era of Buddhism was created more than 200 years ago when Confucius was born.

Buddhism was not founded by the Chinese, but was introduced to China from India; Founded in 565 BC.

No, it was founded by Shakyamuni in ancient India before the 6th century BC.

Buddhism is not a native religion of China, but Chinese Buddhism now has a lot of Chinese culture to add.

Buddhism originated in ancient India, but Buddhism is largely non-existent in India today.

Primitive Buddhism was born in ancient India, and later introduced to China, where it was integrated with a large number of local cultures in China, such as Taoism, Confucianism, folk beliefs, etc., to form Buddhism with Chinese characteristics, calling itself "Mahayana Buddhism". Mahayana Buddhism encompasses all the original Dharma, and the essence of the Dharma has not changed, but at the same time it has a lot of non-Dharma content.

At present, the Buddhism spread in South Asia, especially Theravada Buddhism, is mainly primitive Buddhism, with little mixture, and is called "Theravada Buddhism" by China.

No. **In ancient India, it was founded by the prince of Kapila (in present-day Nepal), who was more than 3,000 years old in ancient India.

Tracing the source of Buddhism's introduction to the homeland turned out to be the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is really a long history.

Buddhism is in the fifth century B.C., the prince of ancient India, Siddhartha Gautama, after becoming a Buddha, he was called Shakyamuni Buddha! There is a correlation between the Chinese people's ability to accept Buddhist thought. China's traditional culture is laid by the ideas of Confucianism and Taoism.

Confucian ideological education is to start with prenatal education and be cautious and pursue the future. From the beginning of a person to death, it is the education of the fulfillment of a person's life. Taoist thought has reached a peak in self-cultivation, seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, as well as the unity of heaven and man, and the theoretical realization of Taoism and nature!

Since Emperor Ming of Han invited Buddhism to China, the Chinese were immediately receptive, because Buddhist thought encompassed Confucianism and Taoism, and it was more fully elaborated on this basis. Buddhism is not just a lifelong education, it is an education of the past, present, and future. In terms of the cognitive realization of the universe of life, he has reached the pinnacle.

Until now, no doctrine or religious thought in the world has surpassed him. Therefore, Mr. Sun Yat-sen praised that "Buddhism is the mother of philosophy, and the study of Buddhism can make up for the bias of science" Buddhism's filial piety, ethics, compassion and help the world, not seeking happiness for themselves, but hoping that the noble spirit of all living beings to be free from suffering was joyfully accepted by the government and the opposition at that time, as well as by the Chinese people!

Because Buddhism advocates not fighting with others, its unique doctrine of reincarnation enables oppressed people to accept the fate of oppression with peace of mind and hope for future lives. Later, probably in the Song and Ming dynasties, it absorbed and borrowed from Lixue, and the unique maintenance of feudal ethics and morality also made Buddhism more suitable as a tool to rule people's thoughts.

I'm not very good at history... But I don't remember any dynasty that deliberately used Buddhism as a tool to fool the people. It should be Confucianism.

Confucianism has poisoned the people for thousands of years... Emperor Wu of Liang, Wu Zetian and the like are very, very religious believers, and they don't have any intention of fooling the people at all. Besides, Buddhism is to get rid of ignorance, wrong views, etc., so the situation that the landlord said has not existed in the past, and there will be no in the future. . .

Any religion becomes an instrument of the ruler when it comes into the hands of the ruler. Including any great ideas and speeches, they can be borrowed and distorted, and then used to consolidate their rights!

True Buddhism will not become a tool of the rulers, and if you force Buddhism to suppress the people of the world, there is no way to do it.

To fool people, we must have a theoretical foundation and gain trust.

Any great idea that comes into the hands of a selfish ruler will inevitably be distorted.

will distort the original meaning of the classics according to their own wishes.

A knife can be used to chop vegetables or kill people, and the knife itself is right, it all depends on the intention of the person who uses the knife. It's the same thing!

That's your understanding. The truth has nothing to do with what you say.

Landlord, you're mistaken, there's no such thing.

The founder of Buddhism was Shakyamuni, who was born in ancient India in Kapilavi (a Shakyamuni ethnic group in the southern part of present-day Nepal). Shakyamuni means the saint of the Shakyamuni clan. The surname Gautama (also translated as Qu Tan), the original name Siddhartha, Buddhists call it "Buddha" or "Buddha", which means enlightened person, the one who has attained enlightenment.

According to the concept of Buddhism, it was the Buddha who created Buddhism. But who created "Journey to the West"? It is the author of "Wu Chengen"!

And so on, who said that Buddhism was created by the "Buddha"? It's Indian. Just like our Taoism, who created it"Taoism"?

It's Chinese! It was created by our ancestors! Could it be that "Taoism" was created by "Hongjun Ancestor"?

In Taoism, Hongjun Lao Zu is like the Buddha in Buddhism!

Buddhism says that "arising from karma" is a worldly truth, and that "dependent arising from non-existence" is the true meaning of the Profound Meaning (Profound Truth). Buddhism holds that the existence of all things (dharma) is not a real existence, but a false existence. Everything changes instantly, so it is "impermanent"; Everything cannot exist independently, and can only exist by relying on other conditions, so there is "no self"; There is no essence, so there is "no self-nature".

Things do not do not exist, but exist in the form of "emptiness" (hypothetical existence), so "color (matter) is emptiness." Although things do not have an essence (self-nature), they have phenomena and effects, so they are not nihilistic or annihilistic. Buddhism believes that not only does the world not exist, but also that the elements that make up the world – time, space, atoms, self, soul, god, mind, consciousness, language, and goodness.

There have been many schools of Buddhism in China, and there are eight main sects. The first is the Three Treatises sect also known as the Dharma Nature Sect, the second is the Yoga Sect also known as the Dharma Xiang Sect, the Benevolence Sect, and the Wisdom Sect, the third is the Tiantai Sect also known as the Lotus Sect, the fourth is the Xianshou Sect also known as the Huayan Sect, the fifth is the Zen Sect, the sixth is the Pure Land Sect, the seventh is the Vinaya Sect, and the eighth is the Tantra sect also known as the Shingon Sect.
