1. Which do you like better, classical [[India]] or China, and why?
Classical China. The technologies discovered by this country. While India may have invented zero and chess, the Chinese inventions are for more important. The printing press in and of itself was revolutionary. We use it incessantly. I don’t think anyone can deny the usefulness of the printing press, while it could be argued the zero is unnecessary. And not everyone values chess. Also invented by China, paper and gunpowder. The Chinese are also a very hardworking people, who earn their keep, instead of excusing laziness by saying that they were put in their position and accepting it.

2. What advantage did Buddhism have over Hinduism in converting people outside India?
2. What advantage did [[Buddhism]] have over [[Hinduism]] in converting people outside India?
Buddhism is not as moral, and does not believe in castes. Castes are very politically incorrect and are not something most people would want to be associated with. Buddhism also does not believe in God or a Supreme Being that you have answer to when you die. They believe that Buddha is the creator. Hindus believe that Brahman is the Supreme Creator, or, God. Buddhism’s lack of God would appeal to many people I this day and age.
