Answer:

Buddhism

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The supposed founder, Gautama Buddha, was a wealthy prince who forsook his own life and pleasure to achieve enlightenment
  • It eventually spread to Japan and parts of China. Shintoism being indigenously part of Japan, which later adopted much of Buddhist philosophy
  • Though having similar origins and beliefs to Hinduism, it varies significantly in rituals. As well as, the appeal, having found more widespread observance in many Asian countries unlike Hinduism mainly in India.
  • Judaism had very little sway in Asian countries and most certainly did not originate in India.
  • Islam having been a much younger religion, originated several centuries after Christianity; adopting a few of the Judaic and Christian narratives. Though widespread did not originate in India, and has found very little influence in countries like Japan.
