They found Theravada Buddhism teaching and lifestyle very strange and in oppose with their religious and cultural principles. Some factors barry Theravada Buddhism to stem in china being constrained in Indian philosophy-religious traditions theravadas showed no flexibility and could not communicate with Chinese in order to stay in that country. However, the other Buddhism group named emerging Mahayanas could insolve into china culture and influenced it during next centuries.
