Infinite Streamer

The six-eared macaque Sun Wukong nodded and said, "Disciple would like to hear the details! So that I can better respond!"

Then, Taishang Laojun gave the following description of the origin of Buddhism and its development in China.

Kasyapa Mohen and Zhufa Molan were both Buddhist missionaries and promoters who came from the mysterious and exotic South Indian subcontinent.

These two people possess extraordinary martial arts and chivalrous methods, and have also acquired various magical powers and spells passed down by Buddhism, which are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Their every move contains the infinite power of Buddhism; every look and every word seems to be able to penetrate the depths of people's hearts and make people feel awe.

Ever since Jodama Khita founded Buddhism in the Kingdom of Daviravati, these two have been following him and have made great military achievements and immortal contributions to the promotion of Buddhism.

Today, Buddhism has become the state religion in South India.

Buddhism originated in the kingdom of Daviravati (now in Nepal) in the southern foothills of the Himalayas. Its founder was Sakyamuni, who founded the religion in the 6th century BC. Buddhism once developed greatly in South India and even spread almost throughout the South Indian subcontinent.

During the Maurya Dynasty, the Buddhist culture of South India reached an unprecedented prosperity. During this period, Buddhism was highly praised by King Ashoka and was widely spread. The "Dafa" policy implemented by King Ashoka further promoted the development and growth of Buddhism, making it one of the mainstream religions in society.

As time went on, the Kushans took over the reins of power. Despite the change in the political landscape, Buddhism maintained a certain level of influence and continued to move forward.

Buddhism originated in the Kingdom of Daviravati, and swept through many countries in Southeast Asia like a tidal wave, and extended all the way to the South Indian subcontinent. They held high the banner of saving all living beings, widely recruited disciples and believers, and their financial resources and power continued to grow like a snowball.

However, the good times did not last long, and Buddhism subsequently experienced a period of rapid decline. Various factors intertwined and led to the gradual decline of Buddhism.

In that era full of mystery and fantasy, these two ambitious Buddhist missionaries and promoters, namely Kasyapa Mochen and Zhufa Molan, shouldered the sacred mission of promoting Buddhist teachings and set their sights on the world's most populous country - China, located in the eastern land of God.

Luoyang, this ancient and prosperous city, became the starting point of their missionary journey. Here, Kasyapa Magen and Zhufa Malan jointly built a magnificent temple - White Horse Temple. This temple is not only the birthplace of Chinese Buddhism, but also a symbol of Buddhist spirit.

In addition, there is another crucial Buddhist missionary figure, Bodhi Damo, also known as Tathagata Buddha. As the founder of Zen Buddhism, he occupies a pivotal position in the history of Chinese Buddhism and has a profound influence on the development of Zen Buddhism. Zen Buddhism emphasizes the pursuit of truth through inner enlightenment and meditation. This unique practice has attracted countless believers.

Although Sakyamuni and Tathagata Buddha are both supreme beings in Buddhism, they represent the core spirit of Buddhism - compassion and wisdom.

But their status and meanings in Buddhism are different. As the founder of Buddhism in history, Sakyamuni's life story, teachings and practice methods are widely praised and studied by later generations. Tathagata Buddha is more regarded as a spiritual symbol, representing the highest wisdom and compassion in Buddhism.
