| Abstract | The article describes the rise and decline of Buddhism in India. Buddhism originated in India around 500 BC. Several factors contributed to the prosperity of the religion including the logic, fundamentalism, and integrity of Lord Buddha's teachings and the charisma of Buddha and his disciples. However, the evolution of Buddhism into several sects led to its decline in India. According to the Buddhist teachings, Buddhist monks did not intervene the world's affairs and this alienated them from lay people. Also, there was an emergence of cult, which distorted the fundamental teachings of Buddha. As powerful Islam expanded its influence into this region around 1200 A.D, India observed the weakening and fall of Buddhism. |
