Explain the cultural diffusion of Buddhism from ancient India to around the world today.

1.) Inquiry

(3-5+ sentences Stretch your thinking; Be specific; Draw connections from past history and current events)
Ancient India has changed with Buddhism because of how any other religion happens. Somebody makes it up, and then people rapidly (compared to how long the world has been around) spread it around their country and sometimes even around the world. It is almost like a virus. Once one person has it, it spreads non-stop until somebody says no. People also might change the religion, but that is their choice.
