Question

why did Buddhism disline later ?​

Answer 1

The decline of Buddhism has been attributed to various factors, especially the regionalisation of India after the end of the Gupta Empire (320–650 CE), which led to the loss of patronage and donations as Indian dynasties turned to the services of Hindu Brahmins.

Answer 2

Causes for the decline of Buddhism in India are mentioned below:

(a) It became a victim to the evils of Brahmanism against which it had fought in the beginning.

(b) In order to meet the challenge of Buddhism, the Brahmanas reformed their religion. Gautama Buddha also organised the Sanghas or the religious orders.
