Buddhism and Christianity are both salvation religions, created to promise a better life after the one they are currently living in. Buddhism starting in fourth century BCE diffused differently than Christianity in about seventy-five CE. Buddhism did not have much opposition, in fact many lower castes joined easily because Buddhism did not recognize the caste system which was strongly in place in India, and India was made up of mostly lower castes that were not treated as well as Brahmins for example. Christianity on the other hand, being started by a Jewish teacher, was opposed by the Roman government, which at the time was against Jewish people, having enslaved them and taken their finances. Both Christianity and Buddhism had many factors that caused them to diffuse to other lands differently and some aspects that caused them to diffuse similarly.
After 570 C.E. when the imperial structure was restored, Buddhism quickly gave way to criticism which ended in the eradication of Buddhism (As stated in documents 4 and 6). It is meaningful to stand out that the previous 6 documents were all written by scholars or the Emperor, so we don’t really know what the peasants and the majority of the Chinese population believed and thought about Buddhism. If there was an additional document written by a regular peasant which would probably state that they (peasants) accepted Buddhism due to their poor living conditions in their agricultural work, then it would be proven that the majority of China accepted Buddhism; while the rich (scholars and Emperor) rejected Buddhism because they thought it was a threat to their regime. When Buddhism reached China thanks to the construction of the Silk road during the first century C.E., the initial feeling among Chinese, or at least their scholars, was that of acceptance and admiration towards Buddhist monks.

According to Mother Culture, "the Leavers were chapter one of human history...their chapter ended about 10,000 years ago with the birth of agriculture.
At least, if someone did, that person never got enough support to make any type of change. Their system of justice came directly from their religion. Therefore, the people had to deal with laws that were rather strict and favored certain members of society more than others. Had the people questioned this system, they could have made a code that was fair to all and not as harsh. Unfortunately, the people of Mesopotamia never challenged their way of thinking and had to deal with the harshness of the Code.
4, 6). An additional document that would further help analyze the reactions to the spread of Buddhism in China would be hearing to what a peasant has to say, because peasants did not have a say in anything, and they were always looked down on. They had to follow the rules and religions, no matter the circumstances. Hearing his reaction of Buddhism can help determine how the religion impacted not only the nobles and common people, but also the peasants who had little faith in anything, especially government and religion. Many converts of China looked upon Buddhism with admiration.
