Explanation:
Buddhism flourished in India approximately 2,600 years ago. Guided by the teachings of Prince Siddhartha Gautama, it contributed to the spiritual and social development of that country. However, due to the Islamic invasions that began in the ninth century AD, the Buddhist tradition was practically destroyed in their homeland, causing many monks to flee to other territories carrying the teachings of the Enlightened One. In many countries these teachings have undergone syncretism. For example, in China there was syncretism with Taoism and Confucianism; in Tibet with the Bön Shamanic religion, however, in Southeast Asia, Buddhism preserved its original format. Theravada Buddhism (doctrine of the elders) is considered primitive Buddhism and holds the classical texts, the oldest texts of the tradition called Tripitaka, or three baskets.
Virtually every home, business, hotel or residence in Thailand has an altar with a Buddha image, as Buddhism is the state's official religion. It is estimated that 95% of Thailand's population is Buddhist. The temples are magnificent, there are thousands of them!...
