What is How Far Did Buddhism Spread West about?
Buddhism spread westwards before it spread east: from its origins in eastern india, it spread into what is now Pakistan and Afghanistan. The fact that Buddhism is today largely an "eastern" religion is due more to historical circumstances than to its initial place of origin. There is strong evidence that Buddhist ideas reached the West in ancient and medieval times to influence not only many aspects of the arts and sciences, but some fundamental precepts of early Islam and probably Christianity as well.
