For the history the Buddhism could become several times the state religion in this or that Asian country. Somewhere he was supported, somewhere expelled, and in some centuries started being supported again. The Buddhism as world religion endured a set of transformations, having stratified on a set of schools and currents in number of which any other world religion won't be compared to it. Opportunity to treat Buddhism dogma at discretion allowed it to unite with radical religions of many countries, having turned into a Lamaism in Tibet or a zen Buddhism in China. Exoticism of Buddhist dogma at last brought it into Europe and America where it was picked actively up by people who weren't satisfied any more by Christianity.Specifics of the Buddhism that it contains in itself(himself) lines of world religion both open system, and line of national religions - the closed systems about which it is accepted to say that they can "be absorbed only with mother's milk". It is caused historically, in the Buddhism there were in parallel two processes: - distribution in the different countries of big traditions (Hinayana, the Mahajana and Vajrayana), uniform for Buddhists of the whole world, on the one hand- and emergence of the national forms of household religiousness dictated by specific conditions of life and cultural realities with another. It is remarkable that in India the Buddhism didn't gain further development. According to statistical data for the beginning of the XXI century it is professed by less than 0,5% of the Indian population (1), what even it is less, than in Russia where 1% of the population ranks itself as Buddhists. The dominating religion of India there is a Hinduism, Islam is also widespread.

Dear Danny,
    Hi ! How are you? I hope everything is ok!
 I really love our new place. Its a beautiful big house by the
 sea and just outside the village.
 The house has got to floors. There are three large
 bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor. The
 living room and the kitchen are on the ground floor and
 there is another bathroom next to the kitchen.
    The kitchen is very big and it has got lots of cupboards. The
 living room is fantastic. It has got my grandmother
 antique sofa and a lovely fireplace in it. There are three comfortable armchairs in front of the fireplace.
     My favourite room is my bedroom. There is a computer on my
 desk and lots of posters on the walls. Ive got a nice bed
 and a big wardrobe next to the window, but i havent
 got a TV in my room yet. There is a big garden in front
 of the house and there is a garage for our two cars.
 Thats our new house ! I hope you can come and visit us
 soon. I miss you.
 Love,
 Pat
