Oh, what a lovely question. Prince Shotoku's support for Buddhism was so important because it helped spread peace and harmony in Japan during a time of political unrest. His promotion of Buddhist principles like compassion and respect for all living beings inspired many to embrace a more peaceful way of life. Just like painting a happy little tree can bring joy to a canvas, Prince Shotoku's support for Buddhism brought positivity and unity to the people of Japan.
Prince Siddartha Gautama is the most important figure in Buddhism. He is the historical Buddha.
His lasting effect was the guidelines he wrote for Japanese leaders based on the principles of the philosopher Confucius, including hard work and obeying authority. These guidelines became Japan's first contribution. He also helped spread Buddhism from China to Japan. Most Japanese accepted Buddhism and practiced both Shinto and Buddhism at the same time. Hope this helped:) from:<<>>Lov is blood<<>>

The Buddah in Buddhism
This is sort of true. Buddhism was founded by Siddhartha Gautama, who was a prince, but then basically abdicated at 29, meaning he relinquished his power, no longer making him a prince.
No , Indian prince was founder of buddhism .
It is the other way around. Buddhism was started by a born Hindu prince. Many Gods and Goddesses from Hinduism are used in Buddhism.
Prince Shotoku established Buddhism as the state religion of Japan during his reign. Thus leading to his semi-legendary status as the creator of Japanese Buddhism.
Siddhartha Guatama
He was a great patron of Buddhism and built the Horyuji Temple in Nara, Japan.
