Buddhism comes from India, why do most Indians not believe in Buddhism?

Because of Buddhism. Already Hindu.

Level 2. India is an amazing place where more than 1,600 religions have arisen over the past 4,500 years. By now, Hinduism is the third religion in the world with the largest number of adherents, and now there are about 1.3 billion people.

They are predominantly Hindu.

The amazing thing is that Indians do not believe in Buddhism, because there is such an event in the evolution of Hinduism and Buddhism: there is a great god in Hinduism called Vishnu, and Vishnu has a total of ten incarnations, of which the eighth incarnation is the Buddha. So, when an Indian goes to a Buddhist temple, he sees the Buddha, but he understands that this is the eighth incarnation of Vishnu.

So all the people go to Hinduism, to Buddhist temples, to pay homage, to touch.

Although Buddhism originated in India, it quickly spread throughout Southeast Asia under the transportation conditions of the time.

At the same time, it also spread to China. But in the Persian Empire.

During this period, the Persians occupied India, burned scriptures, killed monks, and preached Islamic teachings, and Buddhism was extinguished in India.

As we all know, Buddhism originated in ancient India, but it did not prevail in India, "Journey to the West" in the West Heaven Sutra, in which "West Heaven" refers to ancient India, but now India no one believes in Buddhism, but believes in Hinduism, both religions are emerging from India, but they are indeed two opposing religions.

Buddhism originated around the 6th century, and Buddhism arose because of the reflection on Brahmanism, and Buddhism put forward some thoughts on Hinduism, in fact, it also put forward an opposition to Brahmanism and the Hinduism that arose from him.

One can see that Buddhism has reflected on some of the shortcomings of Brahmanism and corrected them, but Brahmanism has an unshakable position in the hearts of Indians, and it is deeply ingrained in their hearts, and Buddhism is undoubtedly unsuccessful in trying to challenge authority! Even when Buddhism was at its most developed in India, only one-fifth of Indians believed in Buddhism. The real reason is that Buddhism is contrary to the living habits and national customs and beliefs of the Indians, which is also the real reason why it cannot be accepted by the majority of Indians.

The struggle between Hinduism and Buddhism has never stopped, but most of it was Hinduism that prevailed, and by the 19th century, only two percent of the people in India believed in Buddhism. On the contrary, Buddhism spread to China and parts of Southeast Asia, but it was very popular with everyone. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Buddhism entered China and has become an inseparable part of the Chinese national culture after thousands of years of development.

Chinese Buddhism modified Indian Buddhism and later spread to other countries. Although India is the origin of Buddhism, it is China that has carried Buddhism forward.

Buddhism is not the religion of the Indians, and when the sentient beings are ripe, the sentient beings there will be able to hear the Dharma. Bodhidharma, the 28th patriarch of Shakyamuni Buddha, also came to China.

Although Buddhism originated in India and quickly spread throughout Southeast Asia under the transportation conditions of the time, it also spread to China. However, during the Persian Empire, the Persians occupied India, burned scriptures, killed monks, and preached Islamic teachings, and Buddhism was extinguished in India.

The reason why Hinduism was able to revive quickly was that there were many Hindu monks who practiced deep in the mountains at that time and were able to escape the killing of Hindu.
