What's the difference between Chinese Buddhism and Indian Buddhism?

Now, Buddhism is very popular in many places. Although they are all called Buddhism, they are all different. Of course, this difference is also due to the gap generated by their own environment. China Buddhism and Indian Buddhism will have different degrees of differences. Since the introduction of Buddhism from the Han Dynasty into China, most of them have changed in different degrees due to the different living environment and customs. Of course, Indian Buddhism and Chinese Buddhism also have most similarities.

First, gradually improve and gradually improve. For Han Buddhism, there was not much difference with Indian Buddhism at first, but some changes have taken place due to the characteristics of our living environment and the living environment of various monks. At the beginning, Buddhism in China didn't require vegetarianism, but because a monk didn't respond well to eating meat, the emperor made it clear that Buddhist monks were not allowed to eat meat, so this custom has continued to this day, making Buddhism in China have its own unique characteristics and changes different from other Buddhists.

Second, tradition comes first, and there is no change. Indian Buddhism has always inherited the most traditional Buddhism, so there is no change in Buddhism. Of course, the inheritance of Buddhism was preserved at that time, so many times everyone thought that Indian Buddhism was also the most traditional Buddhism. For each country, there will be different changes according to its own development and needs, so many times most people understand the inheritance of Indian Buddhism very well. After all, India is a very conservative country, so it also has reservations about its own religion.

No matter whether Buddhism has changed or not, people will believe in it for their own reasons. Of course, this is precisely because of the protection of religion. Many times, everyone respects the religion they believe in. After all, for many people, their own beliefs are the biggest motivation in life, and the inheritance of Buddhism is also very traditional in China.
