How have Buddhist teachings interacted with native Chinese and Japanese traditions?
The Teaching of Lord Buddha is a way of life; an education. In fact it is not a "ism" where you commanded to obey; instead of 'thou shall not kill', we are educated to 'abstain from killing' until not killing is part of our nature. We do not follow commandments but instead we are required to 'come and experience' until the true nature of human being is part of you. Lord Buddha was borned in India and showed or educated the Indians the way of life as during that time India need a new way of life as well as at that time India was the center of the world in term of physical and spiritual development. Buddha's Teaching spead to China and the various part of the world as it was meant to be as an education. Like any educational system you need to incorporate local ingredients to make it easily understood; therefore His Teaching was interacted with the local tradition.
