“Brahman is Atman” has had its influence on China. In ancient China, when some Chinese Buddhist scriptures criticised the heterodox ideology, the thought of Upanishad or Vedanta had been related or demonstrated. In modern and contemporary times of China, the orthodoxy of ancient philosophy in India has been given great importance in the academic world, to do research on Upanishad and Vedanta. There are many research papers on “Brahman is Atman” in Chinese academic journals. The introduction to “Brahman is Atman” is also published by China in the treatise or textbook about the Indian philosophy of religion.
