Mānī was the founder of Manichaeism in the middle of the third century C.E., which was first developed and propagated in the Iranian world, and his new doctrine developed into one of the most widely spread religions in the world at the time. Mānī himself was the first person associated with his doctrine to come into close contact with Buddhism, but not the last. The assimilation of Buddhist practices and concepts by the Manichaean communities of eastern Iran and Central Asia brought Buddhism and Manichaeism closer to Iran and Iranian culture in different intervals.
