The Chinese had been more interested in recording history. Consequently, in China Buddhism also became more oriented to precise documentation, as opposed to the abstractness of Indian Buddhism.
Following Chinese cultural ideas, Chinese Buddhism also became more practical, for example offering a specific Pure Land heaven-like realm in the afterlife, as opposed to endless karmic rebirth. The idea that nirvana can be achieved in this life appealed more to a Chinese sensibility.
Generally, Chinese thinkers explained Buddhism in terms that seemed equivalent to native Chinese ideas. For example, they equated Buddhist nothingness with Daoist non-action.
