Summary "Hinduism and Buddhism, An Historical Sketch, Vol. 3" by Charles Eliot is a historical account likely written in the early 20th century. The book examines the expansion of Indian influence through Buddhism across Eastern Asia, detailing how this influence permeated various cultures, such as those in Ceylon, Burma, Japan, and China. It offers insights into the relationship between Hinduism and Buddhism and their impacts on the regions they touched. At the start of the volume, Eliot introduces the overarching theme of Indian influence outside of India, with a specific focus on the spread of Buddhism. He outlines the diffusion of religious, artistic, and cultural elements from India to various countries, highlighting the peaceful yet profound impacts on civilizations in regions like Ceylon and South-East Asia. The text reflects on historical events and missionary activities that facilitated this spread and discusses the reciprocal cultural exchanges, emphasizing that while India imparted its cultural legacy, the influence from the Far East in return remained limited.
