Centuries were consumed
before the Buddhist religion
became general, just as CEN

Indeed the introduction of
Christianity into Britain did
not differ widely in time from
the formal acceptance of
Buddhism in Japan.
This acceptance was
speeded by the large and con-

into Japan from Korea, which
was almost entirely Buddhist.
