I was surprised by the idea that Buddhism had trouble spreading into China, because they required shaved heads. The Chinese valued the natural body, and the hair from their parents. I can understand better why when the Mongols demanded Chinese shave the front of their heads, it was so traumatic. after today's lecture, it made mire sense.
