How did the silk roads help spread buddishm?
Siddhartha Gautama (c. 563-483 BC), the founder of Buddhism, was born a wealthy prince in northeastern India (map 2). Renouncing worldly trappings and achieving enlightenment, or nirvana, he became known as the Buddha (the Enlightened). Gautama lived at a time of great religious ferment in India, and Buddhism was one of a number of sects that aimed to reform Hinduism. Another, more extreme, reform movement was Jainism, whose asceticism was a reaction to the rigid ritualism of Hinduism.While Buddhist missionaries taught the Buddhist principles many took the religion with them and spread it. Buddhism shared with Hinduism the belief in the cycle of rebirth, but differed in the way in which escape from the cycle could be achieved. Indeed the appearance of Buddhism stimulated a resurgence in Hinduism, which may be why Buddhism failed to take a permanent hold in India.credits to http://www.buddhistview.com/site/epage/8069_225.htm
What two religions originated in India?
Two main religions emerged in India: Hinduism and Buddhism while other civilizations generally had one unified belief system such as the Hebrews, Greeks and Egypt. There was often evidence of cross- cultural influences. Religion often impacted their societies as well. In the ancient world, there were 4 philosophical/religious revolutions that all occurred in or near the Indus River Valley, they were all born of crisis in the ancient world and each revolution established cultural patterns that endure to the present day. Indian religion saw a never-ending cycle of birth and rebirth. Good actions could result in a person's being reborn in a higher state, even as a god. Completed withdrawal from the world could lead to escape from the rebirth cycle and into nonexistence. The term Hindu is a term that applies to the diverse social, racial, linguistic, and religious groups of India. Hinduism was the foundation of Jainism and Buddhism. The Hindu Caste System, ranked from highest to lowest, consists of the minority being the Brahman, Warrior, Merchant/Artisan, and the majority being the Farmers/Peasants, Untouchables. A righteous monarch must preserve the caste system and ensure that people perform according to their rank. Buddhism is known for dharma and karma. There are 4 noble truths in Buddhism: 1) all life is suffering, 2) suffering creates desires 3) The cessation of suffering is attainable. 4) The path to the cessation of suffering. The 8 fold path gives compassion to all being, and control your thoughts. There are three main branches to the eightfold path. Under wisdom was the right view and interpretation. Under ethical conduct was right speech, right action, right livelihood, and under Mental development was right effort, right mindfulness and right concentration.

What are the key beliefs in Hinduism?
Modern day Hinduism is very confusing. There are different sects, different Gods, different scriptures. But original Hinduism is known as Sanatana Dharma. It is a way of life. It teaches us that we are not this body that will die, we are not even the Mind and Ego that says its ME, we are the Divine Atman, the Soul, the Spirit. This is the key teaching of Sanatana Dharma or original Hinduism. Our goal is to realize we are the Soul; to be liberated from the cycle of death and rebirth; to overcome Maya or the cosmic illusion; to transcend Karma and to unite with the Divine- these are the key beliefs.
How nonviolence affected the daily lives of Jains in ancient India?
The Jains' emphasis on nonviolence comes from their belief that everything is alive and part of the cycle of rebirth. Jains are very serious about not injuring or killing any creature-humans, animals, insects, or even plants. They do not believe in animal sacrifice, like the ones the ancient Brahmins performed. Because they don't want to hurt living creatures, Jains are vegetarians. They do not eat any food that comes from animals. Hope this helps :).
