Syncretism of Buddhism

Buddhism was spread from India using syncretism. It spread to countries like Japan, Korea, and China. In an assignment we did in our class was that we were assigned one of the countries above and read from the document reader and answer questions based on it. I got Korea. It was quite interesting. In Korea, there was two cities that the document reader talked about, Paekche and Silla. In Paekche, there was two monks that brought Buddhism using sacred texts they found. In Silla, there was a king that wanted the city to practice Buddhism, but the court officials did not want to. They felt that it was in violation of the Norm. I believe the Norm comes from Confucianism, so Korea believed in Confucianism. Anyway, the king had to force everyone to follow it. In the other countries, Japan and China, they used different things. In Japan, they used trade routes and monks, and in China, they used magic. I wonder that now that I read about syncretism, I think it would be cool to find out more cultures and religions that came form syncretism. I can't wait.
