The Silk Road helped spread Buddhism from India to China because it was a trade route that connected different countries. As merchants traveled along the Silk Road, they came into contact with new ideas and beliefs from different cultures. Buddhist monks also traveled along the Silk Road, bringing their teachings and scriptures with them. People in China became interested in Buddhism and started practicing it because they saw the benefits of the religion. Some Chinese emperors also supported Buddhism, which helped it become more popular in the country.
