| | Buddhism in China - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Buddhism is a very important religion in China and one of the three major schools of thought along with Confucianism and Taoism. | | | However, Tibetan Buddhism and Theravada Buddhism are largely practiced by ethnic minorities along the geographic fringes of the country. | | | Buddhism was less antithetical to Daoism, the other major religion of China, but at its core Daoism sought harmony with the natural world while Buddhism sought to master the inner world. |

| | Religion and Philosophy: Buddhism in China |
| | Buddhism, founded in the late 6th century B.C. by Siddhartha Gautama (the "Buddha"), is an important religion in most of the countries of Asia. | | | Buddhism has assumed many different forms, but in each case there has been an attempt to draw from the life experiences of the Buddha, his teachings, and the "spirit" or "essence" of his teachings (called dhamma or dharma) as models for the religious life. | | | However, not until the writing of the Buddha Charita (life of the Buddha) by Ashvaghosa in the 1st or 2nd century A.D. do we have a comprehensive account of his life. |
