Following Mani's travels to the Kushan Empire (several religious paintings in Bamiyan are attributed to him) at the beginning of his proselytizing career, various Buddhist influences seem to have permeated Manichaeism:
Buddhist influences were significant in the formation of Mani's religious thought. The transmigration of souls became a Manichaean belief, and the quadripartite structure of the Manichaean community, divided between male and female monks (the "elect") and lay followers (the "hearers") who supported them, appears to be d on that of the Buddhist sangha. (Richard Foltz, Religions of the Silk Road)
In the Gnostic Bible, in the writings of the Death of Mani, Mani attains Parinirvana.
The word "Buddha" is frequently used in Manichean writings of later centuries according to the same work.
Other Indian religions might have influenced Manicheasm. In the 4th century, Ephraim criticized Mani for adopting "the Lie" from India, promoting "two powers which were against each other".
In China Manichaean theology featured structural repetitions of images of woken light liberated from darkness[citation needed]:
the Son of God was woken from demonic imprisonment by the Holy Spirit and escaped its darkness;
conversion to Manicheanism was depicted both as an awakening and an illumination;
and in death the converted spirit would escape the darkness of the body.
Converts were on-ly guaranteed salvation if they could continue this repetition and convert another in turn.[citation needed]
