Buddhism.
Although Buddhism is able to change, adapt, and be adopted by other cultures and lifestyles, with all these changes, do you think that the original meaning of Buddhism taught by the Buddha himself can be lost or even die? Does the original meaning even matter if it loses its relevance?

The artwork demonstrates how new ideas had an impact on Buddhism itself. This shows how exposure to outside influences and new ideas may significantly impact religion and potentially lead to the loss of its core principles. In addition, Buddhism’s initial significance would endure even if it became irrelevant. This would make it easier to comprehend why new concepts were introduced into this religion. It will provide new concepts if Buddhism upholds its basic ideals and beliefs. The ideal morality will be upheld by followers, allowing new ideas to continue according to their rules. Sue states, “There is considerable evidence that conscious efforts were made to ensure accuracy in such preservation and that accuracy continued to be a factor when teachings began to be written down.”[1]
