ATibetan Buddhist ritual in Valle de Bravo.

Buddhism is a minority religion in Mexico, numbering 108,701 followers or 0.09% of the total Mexican population.

Tibetan Buddhism[edit]

Casa Tibet México (headquartered in the Colonia RomaofMexico City) was the third of the Tibet Houses to be created.[1] It was founded by the XIV Dalai Lama on his first visit to Mexico.[1] One of the main objectives of the Casa Tibet is to combat the esoteric New Age beliefs that surround eastern cosmogony and to disseminate and preserve true Tibetan culture and spirituality.[1]

The current Director, Lama Marco Antonio Karam, was chosen by the Dalai Lama to head the Casa Tibet.[1] Another important mission the Casa Tibet participates in is the sponsoring of Tibetan children located in Dharamshala, India.[1] In Mexico, they have given help to street children, Indigenous children and single mothers.[1] The Casa Tibet does not proselytize, but will not refuse an individual wanting to learn about Tibetan ideology.[1]

Other denominations[edit]

At a Thai Buddhist temple in Tamaulipas, there are three Buddhist monks from Thailand teaching the faith, as well as one monk from Cambodia.
