Buddhism

I agree with the statement, especially the fact that Buddhism changed over time as it spread throughout Asia. In China some of the beliefs of Confucianism and Daoism became incorporated with Buddhist beliefs. Buddhism could in part be a reaction to Vedic beliefs, as the foundation of Buddhism is the belief that the attachment to material goods is the cause of suffering. 

Through the ways Buddhism was taught it began to evolve and change, as there are differences in how Theravada is taught and how Mahayana is taught. Both also spread to different areas, which slightly changed how Buddha's teachings were taught based on the area people live. Theravada considered Buddha a great teacher, but made each person responsible for their own journey. Its spread went Southeast and is now in Sri Lanka, Southeast Asia and Indonesia. So the spread of two different teachings affected how Buddhism is taught regionally. The extension of Mahayana included the spread of belief in Bodhisattvas and the belief in Buddha as a Godlike figure. It extended from India in a Northeasterly direction. Although the teachings changed, the core beliefs remained the same for Buddhism as a whole.
