Answer:

Buddhism is predominantly an Asian culture. One man who goes by the name Siddhartha Gautama started it. The religion spread through India and internationally like Ceylon, Burma, Nepal, Tibet, central Asia, China, and Japan. These are just some regions where the Middle Path was widely accepted.

Answer:

Buddhism arose in the eastern part of Ancient India, in and around the ancient Kingdom of Magadha (now in Bihar, India), and is based on the teachings of Siddhārtha Gautama. The religion evolved as it spread from the northeastern region of the Indian subcontinent through Central, East, and Southeast Asia.
