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]
