Many people in early India accepted Buddha and his teachings due to his emphasis on personal experience and practical wisdom over ritualistic practices and caste distinctions. His teachings on the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path offered a clear framework for overcoming suffering and achieving enlightenment, appealing to those disillusioned by the existing social and religious hierarchies. Additionally, Buddhism promoted values such as compassion and mindfulness, which resonated with a wide audience seeking spiritual fulfillment and social equality.

How might Buddhism have changed the culture of the areas of India that accepted the Buddha's teaching?

Actually Buddhism had and still has a significant effect on India. At one time Buddhism was the largest religion in India. This lasted for quite some time until Hindu priests used their political power to dampen the spread of Buddhism and cause it to decline. Regardless of ancient history, the Buddha's teachings were brought into Hinduism and the Buddha is still revered by Hindus as the ninth avatar of Vishnu.
