During the high point of the Silk Road, Buddhism came to our empire during the Han Dynasty. Merchants brought this religion to us and it became a part of the three main streams of thought for the Chinese culture. This states that we can only find balance through Taoism: the road, focusing on nature and the will to change, Confucianism: the idea of goodness and leading an empire by example, and Buddhism: the art of reaching Enlightenment through medidation, awakening from all of this world, seeking beyond this universe. Without all three we lose the Mandate of Heaven.
