For some, Buddhism is a religion. For others, it is a philosophy, while others practice Buddhism to find
themselves and experience inner peace. Buddhism is a religion that is practiced worldwide. In fact, it is
believed that as many as 535 million people around the world practice this religion, which would
represent between 8% and 10% of the world’s total population.
There are several countries that have a very high proportion of Buddhism followers. The country with
the highest proportion is Cambodia (/countries/cambodia-population/). Of its population of over 15
million, over 13 million – or 96.9% of the total population – are Buddhists. Other countries that have a
high percentage of Buddhist residents include:
< 100,000 > 100,000 > 1,000,000 > 10,000,000 > 100,000,000
