Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -India is the birthplace of Buddhism, and the religion is part of India’s spiritual heritage. When India was at the height of its power, Indian priests and scholars travelled abroad and spread Buddhism widely: across Tibet and China and then on to Japan, and throughout Southeast Asia via Sri Lanka.

Many Chinese found it easy to blend these two belief systems.
