Maybe its possible that the great distances separating us lead to some of the key morals of Eastern religion being lost, or lost in translation. Maybe we missed information about which lessons are valued most and considered more important. Maybe the weird personal interpretations of the particular person bringing over the text will be weighed equally with more established interpretations. Maybe the random unfiltered opinions of the person who brought the text over will be assumed to be part of the teachings of the religion, just because the person shared their opinions at every opportunity.

You need a strong and diverse two-way communication channel for a religion to move from one place to another, otherwise things are going to get corrupted. If your religion spans half a dozen books and hundreds of pages then it's practically guarunteed that the religion will end up worse after it's travel.

Shoot, even traveling through TIME can heavily mutate religions.
