- You are the expert - I don't know. This is only the feeling I have. Of
- course there is influence, after all there were ties. I was only saying
- something like, there aren't all that many Hindu temples in China, their
- language does not have a great Indian influence, their folk dances aren't
- based on Indian epics. As for Buddhism, how much of it exists in India
- NOW? (That's what I was talking about.) And how much of Chinese Buddhism
- is really Indian?
