520 |a This article first discusses some main aspects of contemporary Buddhist minorities in the world and notes that in the 20th century, for the first time in history, a large multiplicity of Buddhist traditions became available in the same geographical spaces. It then focuses on Buddhist minorities in India, which is the country where Buddhism began 2,500 years ago, and makes comparisons with Buddhist minorities in an East Asian country, South Korea, and in the countries where the most recent expansion of Buddhism has taken place, Europe and the United States, that is, in the ‘West’, where Buddhists gained a significant presence only in the 20th century. There are interesting similarities between contemporary Buddhism in India, South Korea, and the West. In South Korea, Buddhism was revived in the 20th century, after many centuries of repression and stigmatization, and refashioned with new organizations and institutions in competition with rapidly expanding Christian missions and churches. Buddhist minorities created by new followers in contemporary India and in the West are to a large degree the result of 19th- and 20th-century transformations and reinterpretations of Buddhism. In addition, in both India and the West, further pluralization of Buddhism was caused by migrations. In the West the majority of Buddhists are made up of migrants from Asia and their descendants, while in India the majority are 20th-century converts.
