Andites drove inferiors into 1 paragraph

79:2.4About 15,000 B.C. in­creas­ing pop­u­la­tion pres­sure through­out Tur­kes­tan and Iran oc­ca­sioned the first re­ally ex­ten­sive And­ite move­ment to­ward In­dia. For over fif­teen cen­turies these su­pe­rior peo­ples poured in through the high­lands of Baluchis­tan, spread­ing out over the val­leys of the In­dus and Ganges and slowly mov­ing south­ward into the Dec­can. This And­ite pres­sure from the north­west drove many of the south­ern and east­ern in­fe­ri­ors into Burma and south­ern China but not suf­fi­ciently to save the in­vaders from racial oblit­er­a­tion.

Asoka established Buddhism in 1 paragraph

94:9.1Bud­dhism pros­pered be­cause it of­fered sal­va­tion through be­lief in the Bud­dha, the en­light­ened one. It was more rep­re­sen­ta­tive of the Mel­chiz­e­dek truths than any other re­li­gious sys­tem to be found through­out east­ern Asia. But Bud­dhism did not be­come wide­spread as a re­li­gion un­til it was es­poused in self-pro­tec­tion by the low-caste monarch Asoka, who, next to Ikh­na­ton in Egypt, was one of the most re­mark­able civil rulers be­tween Mel­chiz­e­dek and Mi­chael. Asoka built a great In­dian em­pire through the pro­pa­ganda of his Bud­dhist mis­sion­ar­ies. Dur­ing a pe­riod of twenty-five years he trained and sent forth more than sev­en­teen thou­sand mis­sion­ar­ies to the far­thest fron­tiers of all the known world. In one gen­er­a­tion he made Bud­dhism the dom­i­nant re­li­gion of one half the world. It soon be­came es­tab­lished in Ti­bet, Kash­mir, Cey­lon, Burma, Java, Siam, Ko­rea, China, and Japan. And gen­er­ally speak­ing, it was a re­li­gion vastly su­pe­rior to those which it sup­planted or up­stepped.

cultures of India and China mixed in 1 paragraph

79:6.2In Burma and the penin­sula of Indo-China the cul­tures of In­dia and China mixed and blended to pro­duce the suc­ces­sive civ­i­liza­tions of those re­gions. Here the van­ished green race has per­sisted in larger pro­por­tion than any­where else in the world.

94:9.4In the south the fun­da­men­tal­ist stereo­type of the teach­ings of Sid­dhartha per­sisted in Cey­lon, Burma, and the Indo-China penin­sula. This is the Hi­nayana di­vi­sion of Bud­dhism which clings to the early or aso­cial doc­trine.
