India – Vedic & Historical inspiration for Japan • “Without Indian influence, Japanese culture would not be what it is today.” "As most Japanese profess the Buddhist faith, needless to say, they have generally been influenced by Indian ideas to a great extent." • Hajime Nakamura (1912 - 1999) Japanese scholar • "Zen is the Japanese equivalent of Sanskrit Dhyana (meditation) or Ch'an and is the name given to the sect founded in China by Bodhidharma.“ • Sir Charles Elliot (1862-1931), British diplomat and colonial administrator • “The study of Japanese thought is the study of Indian thought” • Dr. D. T. (DaisetzTeitaro) Suzuki (1870-1966) Japanese Buddhist and Zen scholar • India has dictated the national diet fostering rice-cultures and discrediting the use of flesh, which seems to have been a staple article of Japanese food in pre-Buddhistic days." • Basil Hall Chamberlain (1850-1935) British Japanologist • "The Indian form of myth of The Churning of the Milky Ocean reached Japan” • Donald A. Mackenzie (1873 - 1936) • “Vedic ideas were also taken to Japan by the sea route from South India and Southeast Asia . That serves to explain the specific transformations of some Sanskrit terms into Japanese through Tamil phonology.” • Dr. SubhashKak (1949 - )
