Who were the important people that helped spread the religion?

Answer 1

Hinduism first began and spread during the Indus River Valley Civilization as early as 7000 BC. There is no leader associated with Hinduism and early information on the development of the religion is lacking. However, its teachings have steadily grown into a modern movement today.

Answer 2

If you are speaking on Buddhism, many people would be hesitant to call it a religion. Mainly because it does not require a set of beliefs that one cannot investigate, experience, and validate.

The practice of Buddhism was first spread by it's founder Gautama Buddha, around 2,500 years ago. It has since been spread by many prominent Buddhists. To name a few:

Dogen- Of Japan, and the Soto Zen Buddhist school.

Suzuki Roshi- Who brought Dogen's teachings to modern day America.

Thic Nat Han- Who Has helped to spread Buddhism from Vietnam, to America, and Europe.

The Dalai Lama- Who continues to peacefully work towards the liberation of Tibet.

There are many books on, and by these people. I encourage everyone who is interested to look into this practice, seek out a Buddhist community near you, and discover the truth for yourself.
