1.Which do you like better, classical India or [[China]], and why?  

I like classical India better since it seemed to create many new inventions and many of the common religions in the Middle East were founded in India. The people tried to explain man’s passions and sinfulness. They wanted to know everything that happened and was created around them. They also created many mythical stories, like the Greeks, to explain how earth and the solar system works including there gods in the tails. Theses stories are now what we read in fairy books or other novels about mythical beliefs. I think India was a country with much hope and joy; they never had a civil war and they always stood there for each other.

2. What advantage did Buddhism have over Hinduism in converting people outside of India?

You might speculate on why it took so long to discover and use it. Man always occupies himself on gaining more but never gaining anything (zero). He worries if he is getting enough for something and when you trade a certain material with someone else you never trade anything for something. Man never needed to use the theory of having nothing. Our first found evidence of the use of zero in some Hindu writings from the late 9th century. The Middle East and Asia used the zero before the west could even think about using it since they were tangled in the competition to be culturally superior and progressing in their religions. The Babylonians used a space as a placeholder for empty “columns.” Later on they developed the first known mark to stand for an empty place. It looked very similar to two y’s standing together, YY. This symbol, which was never used alone,  did not represent zero but just as a place holder.
