Buddhism comes to China

Hey bloggers, its Kumarajiva here. Another beautiful day in this 400 A.D. Anyways, today I translated yet another Buddhist text into Chinese. It’s been interesting seeing the effect Buddhism has had on China. To think, just 200 years ago Buddhism was a minority in China. An up and coming minority. Many people here in China liked the simplicity of the religion, and how it lacked real organization. I have theories of how Buddhism is going to evolve. Monasteries are going to begin to pop up, and millions will be Buddhist. It is going to split into two groups. 1 group will dwell on the unknown and mystical aspects of it, and the other group will be simple farmers and such who will worship in their own simple ways. Eventually, though, people will again become corrupt, and monasteries will no longer be spiritual. Well, I have to get back to work spreading Buddhism around to the ignorant, and helping people see the way.
