Stupas
Stupas and Pagodas are Buddhist holy buildings.
In Southeast Asia, several structures bear witness to the spread of Buddhism, including the magnificent temples of Angkor Wat in Cambodia, which originally served as a Hindu temple before becoming a Buddhist site. Other notable examples include the ancient Borobudur temple in Indonesia, renowned for its intricate reliefs and stupas, and the Shwedagon Pagoda in Myanmar, an iconic symbol of Buddhist devotion. These structures reflect the region's rich cultural heritage and the enduring influence of Buddhism on local architecture and spiritual practices.

Southeast Asia (Apex)
Buddhism first spread throughout India. Then it spread into China. As it spread into China it spread into Sri Lanka and then to Southeast Asia. From China it spread into Tibet, Korea and Japan. As of now Buddhism is practiced in all of the continents except Antarctica, (unless of course a Buddhist happens to be visiting). Buddhism is most prevalent in Asia and least prevalent in Africa. Buddhism is the fastest growing religion in Europe and North America. So Buddhists now are everywhere
Cultural difussion
Zen Buddhism originated in China. It was a blending of Buddhist practices that had been imported from India with daoism. It then spread to Korea and Japan. So, historically, the three nations most closely associated with zen Buddhism are China, Korea, and Japan. It later spread to southeast Asis as well as to the West.
