In Europe, there has been a recognisable movement towards Buddhism since the 19th century. After the first circles had mainly focussed on texts, the meditation Buddhism movement followed, followed by Tibetan Buddhism, and Christians discovered Zen. With the mindfulness movement, Buddhism finally reached the mainstream; a change in society's perception of religion and important personalities such as Thich Nhat Hanh or the Dalai Lama characterise the picture. This panel examines the facets of contemporary European Buddhism and its genesis as well as transformation processes in intra-Buddhist and interreligious contexts.
