Answer:

A contribution of Buddhism was the monastic system. The Buddhist monks obeyed a common head and lived together under a common code of discipline. The head of a monastery was elected by the monks. Gradually this monastic system was adopted into Hinduism.

The most fascinating contribution of Buddhism to India was in the field of Sculptures and architectures. Buddhist art and sculpture developed with the spread of Buddhism. In art and architecture stone was used from Asoka’s time. Numerous stupas, chaityas and pillars were constructed. Stupas at Sanchi, Sarnath, Runidei, Bharhut, Dliauli and Jaugad etc. are some specimen of Buddhist art and architecture.
