Gautam Buddha taught Buddhism to nearby kingdoms, and his followers spread it, with different ways. Some merchants whose became followers of Buddhism and monks spread Buddhism in foreigners during their visit and travel. Silk route was a famous example, from where Buddhist merchants firstly reached Antioch city (which was situated in way of Silk Route) started to spread Buddhism in all across Asia.
