| Summary: | Buddhism in Latin America and the Caribbean is still a demanding field of research. Most of the existing studies are limited to specific countries, primarily Brazil and Argentina. The few publications that approach the issue within a broader geopolitical context such as Central America, South America, or Latin America do not have sufficient academic depth. The present article contributes to filling this gap. Based on an inventory of Buddhist centers and temples established in the region the article offers an overview of the current state and common denominators of institutionalized Buddhism in Latin America and the Caribbean. |
