An interesting but exceedingly difficult problem is the one as to what place Zen Buddhism has in Japanese culture. The answer to this question is peculiarly difficult because Zen Buddhism is not and has not been the sole religion of Japan, but during the greater part of its long history in this land it has been closely bound up with Shinto and Confucianism; so that even today, though it is officially separated from Shinto, a great many Japanese are Shintoists, Confucianists and Buddhists at one and the same time. Buddhism as a religious tradition started during the life of Buddha who was known as Siddhartha Gautama, also known as Shakyamuni.The teachings of Buddha were an inspiration to many and soon started to spread.Buddhism spread from India on to Sri Lanka, from their, it soon covered most of Southeast Asia.Buddhism today is practiced by people in many countries the world over.
