You are saying that Chinese bent the Buddhism. What Hindus did? Hindus accept Buddha as the 9th incarnation of Vishnu. How many of us are aware of this fact and the teachings of Buddha? Will we accept Krisha only when he comes with a flute and have multiple marriages. Was not Buddha the incarnation of krishna Himself?
We should not always blame the governments for the same. It is the people of India and China who should take initiative to build this relatinship and I am sure that Chinese Govt will not object the same and the current statement can be taken as an initiative from them.
When I talk about the flexibility in China then I am talking from religious perspective. We did not listen these kind of statements during Mao. Mao used to say that -"Religion is poison.". This is the same China which is giving these religious statements today as mentioned in the original article. And that is the reason I say that China is changing. I accept that China has lot more to deliver and it can only be a beginning. We should appreciate these kinds of initiatives from China.
