 * Delete as WP:OR, and inherently so, unless one uses multiple reliable sources that all are about comparisons of Buddhism in China and Japan, none of which sources source this article. It is not that such sources don't exist, for example Nakamura, Hajime. 1991 Ways of thinking of eastern peoples: India, China, Tibet, Japan. Motilal Banarsidass; De Bary, William Theodore, ed. 1969 The Buddhist Tradition: In India, China and Japan Vintage; and several others. But this essay by a SPA is not based on them.
