Buddhism comes to china

In 500 BCE, my dad, Siddhartha Gautama or as most people know him now as "Buddha , founded a religion in India called Buddhism. The religion of Buddhism came to China in 206 B.C.  Buddhism was spread along the Silk Road and other trade routes and had reached China by the time of the Han Dynasty.  The Buddha would preach his teachings and was considered a wondering teacher.He told us if we followed the Buddhists way we  would reach a state of enlightenment called Nirvana, and will become freed from the worries and the physical world and all its materialistic items.  I believe that china will continue to be a main religion in china for generations to come.
