Abstract
The expansion of Buddhism from India to the East Asian countries has stimulated the interaction of various cultural and religious systems and caused changes and adaptations of religious practices. One of the very good examples of this process is Japan, where as a result a specific form of Buddhism was created. These processes will be shown on the example of the Buddhist goddess of wisdom and art, Benzaiten, so that by following the movements of her cult within different cultural and historical circumstances, we gain a better insight into the changes that have brought about the adaptation and shaping of Japanese Buddhism.
