Buddhism in Italy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Buddhism has about 50,000 adherents (0,2% of the Italian population)[1].
In Italy there are two major Buddhist associations:
- Italian Biddhist Union (schools: Theravada Buddhism, Mahayana Buddhism, Vajrayana Buddhism), founded in 1985 and recognized by the government in 1991, which adhers to the European Buddhist Union
- Italian Buddhist Institute Soka Gakkai (school: Nichiren Buddhism), founded in 1998 and recognized by the Italian government in 2000
