What are some things about Hinduism that Buddhism rejected?

As such Buddhism did not reject anything about Hinduism rather the people were exploited by he priests and their approach was too dogmatic and blind faith was on the spread. Caste ism was on the rise these are some of the factors that lead to the popularity of Buddhism but the Hindu priests felt the threat and saw the downfall of Hinduism, meanwhile King Asoka took upon himself to spread Buddhism but it couldn't hold roots in India . It is strange that though Buddhism was born in India it is practiced more in eastern countries and other parts of the world Hope this answers your query For more info go to www.sgi.org


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

When did the Buddhism develop into a major religion in china?

I'm not sure but I believe Buddhism developed as a major religion in China when the Han Dynasty fell in 220. Chaos was spread all throughout China, and Buddhism proved to be popular in Southern China where it stressed learning and philosophy. In north china Buddhist monks became advisers to barbarian tribe rulers. The separation of northern and southern china caused Buddhism to spread throughout northern and southern schools. I hope this proves to be helpful :)
