The popularity of Buddhism has been linked to his understanding, as an ideology of the urban population. Kanishka the Great confirmed as Mahayana Buddhism significantly simplified "way of salvation", which contributed to its mass.[7][8]
After the invasion White Huns, as well as during the Islamic expansion, Buddhism is losing the role of widespread and popular on the territory of Uzbekistan, religion, and by the 13th century disappeared almost completely as a result of the persecution of infidels during the reign of Khorezm.[9][10]
