Best Answer

A rising class of Indian Merchants found Buddhism attractive, especially with its messages of non--violence, honesty and non-stealing, and spread it along the trade routes.

Second answer

Buddhism most likely spread by Central Asian merchants since the mountains to the west of China blocked a direct route from India. Monks were also responsible for proselytizing.

Buddhism spread across nations because people like that there are no customs and rituals or any kind, o deities to follow, no sacrifices of any kind, its main purpose was to attain the state of Niarvana of total salvation of the life cycle of death and birth and it supported peace, that why even today you will find people in the west referring to themselves as Buddhist -Jews etc. for more you can visit a

Buddhism spread from northern India into nearby geographical locations such as Tibet, Sri Lanka, and southeast Asia. Several centuries A.D. it spread into China where it blended with native Daoist practices to create Chan Buddhism in China, Son Buddhism in Korea, and Zen Buddhism in Japan.

As with many world religions, it was the followers who helped to spread the faith, after the founder was dead. While there were individual examples of missionaries (usually Buddhist monks) going outside of India to teach in Buddhism's formative years, the most important period for the spread of Buddhism began around the year 272, after an influential Indian king named Ashoka adopted Buddhism. Ashoka contributed greatly to the growth of Buddhism within India; but he also contributed to its growth outside of India by sending missionaries to other centers of population along the Silk Road, where they shared Buddhist teachings and established centers of worship. Buddhist monks taught about the religion in China, Japan, Thailand, and throughout Asia; further, the words of the Buddha were translated into the local languages, making it easier for people in different countries to learn what Buddhism was about.
