Don't forget that Alexander was a late comer. Persia owned Afghanistan, Pakistan. and a chunk of India when it invade Greece in 492 BCE. Cyrus had already eaten Ionia and the rest of the Greek settlements on that side of the pond. Was there an exchange of ideas and which way did it flow? Who knows. People get around. There's a lot of legend involved but Bodhidharma is supposed to have started Chan Buddhism in China. In the art work he isn't depicted as Chinese and in the legends he is either from Persia, India, or some other vague place far away to the west. Wherever, he had a lot of miles on his sandals.
