Hispanophone Buddhism

Buddhism up close in Spain and Latin America

This ongoing series of posts highlights in English content from our Hispanophone platform of Buddhistdoor en Español (BDE). It showcases to our non-Spanish readers the amazing practitioners and teachers, monastic and lay, active in Spain and the many countries across Latin America. It looks at the sincere and supportive sanghas growing in unlikely locations; and the temples, monasteries, and stupas being built all over the South American continent. We also speak to the scholars helping Spanish readers catch up in understanding the Dharmic faith tradition.

BDE is Buddhistdoor’s Spanish-language platform. BDE is currently the only website devoted entirely to covering Buddhist developments in the entire Hispanophone world.
