Source: "Indeed, it is likely that Buddhist practices of producing texts for merit were a central impetus in the development of print technology in China." ([2]; Source: "Once we recognize that the emergence of printing was a protracted development, then the connection of Buddhism and the birth of the printed book is clear.(...) And so goes the litany of Chinese 'firsts' in the history of printing, almost all of which are related directly to Buddhism" ([3])
