Explain the appeal of Buddhism over other religions found in both India and other regions of the world during the same time period?
it gave the poor hopes of entering into a better life. Real religions appeal to the poor. Business/religions appeal to "the haves" not the "have nots"
Why could Buddhism be considered a peaceful philosophy and why might it appeal to people?
It might be considered a peaceful philosophy because of their way to reaching enlightenment. It might appeal to people because it makes sense. What I mean by that is it makes sense to want to reach enlightenment and have your soul become one with the universe. Compared to Hinduism where the ultimate goal is to unite with Brahman. In NO way was I trying to insult Hinduism. I personally am a Christian so I do not believe in these religions but was highly educated in them.

What led to the diffusion of the major religions?
The diffusion of major religions was influenced by factors such as trade routes, conquests, migrations, missionaries, and cultural exchange. As societies interacted with each other, they shared beliefs and practices, which contributed to the spread of religions across different regions. Additionally, the appeal of these religions' teachings and principles played a significant role in attracting new followers.
Is Hinduism really a religion or philosophy and way of life?
It depends on your understanding of the word religion. I would say that where people were following a set of rules and beliefs then they were following a religion; certainly people in India consider themselves as religious and god-fearing. However, the difference between Eastern religions and Western religions is that they (Eastern) religions are not dogmatic and therefore rarely can you be punished for blasphemy or taking the lord's name in vain. Also the control a certain priest/guru has will depend on his personal appeal in that region - there is no hierarchy of priests with a single individual deciding what rules are to be followed. Because of this, Eastern religions tend to be very tolerent and people are encouraged to think outside the box. Most Eastern philosphies encourage individuals to think for themselves and indeed, are invited to make improvements in the particular philosophy as they see fit.

Why has Zen Buddhism caught the imagination of the West?
There were a number of different causes. Perhaps the most important ones are that Zen practice ("zazen meditation") is easy to learn, effective, and, except for the belief that it might work, it requires that a beginner believe nothing (in other words, there's no creed that must be followed). Furthermore, there is nothing supernatural in Zen Buddhism, which holds great appeal for those disillusioned with western theistic religions.
