Buddhism in Norway

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Vietnamese "Khuông Việt" pagoda at Løvenstad near Oslo, the only of its kind in Norway.

Buddhism in Norway has existed since the beginning of the 1970s, after immigration from countries with Buddhist populations, mainly Vietnam. Buddhistforbundet (The Buddhist Federation) in Norway was established as a religious society in 1979 by two Buddhist groups (The Zen School and Karma Tashi Ling buddhistsenter) who wanted to create a common organization to preserve issues of common interest. As of 2013, there are between 30.000 and 50.000 (between 0.7%[1] and up to 1%[2] of the total population) registered Buddhists in Norway. Around 5% of them are Norwegians.[3]

In 2017, it was estimated that there are approximately 2,000 ethnic Norwegians who have converted to the religion.[4] Buddhism is Norway's third-largest religion, after Christianity and Islam.[5]
