Contemporary Expansion in Latin America
[edit]
The Contemporary expansion of Buddhism in Latin America refers to the growth of immigrant Buddhist practices distributed mainly across Brazil and other South American nations.[1]The movement has developed shaped by the migration history of the 20th century, centering on ancestor worship and funeral rites rather than just meditation.[1] It commonly faces the dilemma of adaptation or extinction as communities must choose between maintaining ethnic exclusivity or opening up inter culturally to local populations.[1]
Establishment in Brazil
[edit]
The establishment of Chinese Buddhism in Brazil refers to the concentration of Buddhist institutions in the country, which hosts approximately half of all centers in South America. The history began with the immigration of Chinese communities, leading to the construction of the Mo Ti Temple, the first ethnic Chinese temple in the country, followed by the Kuang Ying Temple in São Paulo.[2]
The movement has developed shaped by the expansion of international organizations such as Fo Guang Shan, which founded the Zu Lai Temple in Cotia. This institution has implemented strategies of adaptation by establishing the Free Buddhist University (ULB) to train Brazilian monks and teachers.[3] These educational programs aim to create mediators who can bridge the gap between Chinese culture and Brazilian society.[3]
