Abstract [en]

Buddhism has been present in the Nordic countries for centuries, from the small bronze Buddha statues of the sixth century to contemporary Thai temples and mindfulness practitioners. The Nordic context has significantly shaped the culture and organisational forms of this growing minority religion, where approximately 200,000 Buddhists practise or belong to a variety of groups, with migrants and descendants from Asian countries representing the vast majority. The conclusion summarises key findings from all chapters, highlighting common trends across the five Nordic countries and proposing questions for future research on Nordic Buddhism.
