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.
On Sunday I also like to sleep longer. But I do not get up very late. Although it is a day off, I have a lot to do. I have breakfast with my parents in the morning. Then we go to a store or a market. We always have many purchases on Sunday, and therefore we go by car. My father is always at the wheel. He has been driving a car for more than twenty years and he is sure-footed on the road
Shopping takes much time and energy. We come home tired. When I need some rest, I turn on a TV-set or a computer and watch an interesting film.
On Sunday evening I gird myself up for a new working week. I do homework, prepare copy-books and textbooks for Monday.
