Prince Shotoku inspired Japan to learn from China and helped spread Buddhism to Japan.
Shotoku is a Yamato prince who took charge of Japan on behalf of his aunt, empress Suiko, and his goal was to create a strong government modeled after China. To achieve his goal, he created a constitution that gave all power to the emperor and he also created a bureaucracy. The emperor appointed all government positions and the constitution listed rules (based on the ideas of Confucius) for working in the government. Shotoku sent officials to study the Chinese government and they learned about Buddhism, art, medicine, and philosophy. He also ordered the building of Buddhist temples and monasteries throughout Japan. This was how prince Shotoku changed the Japanese government.
His lasting effect was the guidelines he wrote for Japanese leaders based on the principles of the philosopher Confucius, including hard work and obeying authority. These guidelines became Japan's first contribution. He also helped spread Buddhism from China to Japan. Most Japanese accepted Buddhism and practiced both Shinto and Buddhism at the same time.

Buddhism

Asoka was the name of the king who spread Buddhism.
Yes Buddhism spread fast in India.
The content of Shotoku's constitution, also known as the Seventeen-Article Constitution, was influenced by several factors. One major influence was Confucianism, which emphasized moral values, order, and hierarchy in society. Another influence was Buddhism, which advocated for equality and compassion. Additionally, Shotoku's desire to centralize political power and establish a strong and harmonious government also shaped the content of the constitution.
Buddhism originated about 2500 years ago.
