Abstract
The Kushan Empire (1st– mid 3rd century CE) had played a significant role in the development and consolidation of Buddhism, facilitating its spread over Central Asia and the Silk Road. The Empire had supported Buddhist institutions and encouraged the syncretic development of Buddhist literature, Art and Theology under emperors like Kanishka. This paper examines the resilience of Buddhism throughout the Kushan era and its extensive impact on the Silk Road. It explores the evolution of Mahayana Buddhism, the impact of Greco-Buddhist Art on religious iconography and the role of Buddhist monasteries as hubs for education and inter-cultural exchanges. By analyzing historical and archaeological evidences, this research emphasizes the enduring impact of Buddhism in shaping Asia's spiritual and cultural landscape.
