 This term I am taking a class in East Asian Art. (Think China) Right now
 we are in Buddhism and it's influence on China's art because Buddhism came
 from India. Makes me think of how MUCH or how many times other cultures get
 "used" (maybe exploited, acculturated, assimilated, influenced) by others.
 
 I wonder if Buddha is rolling over in his grave because Buddhism has been
 "altered" so MANY times or has been "sold" for "commercial profit".
