An all-buddhist country.

Lemme know where it is. I'll vacation there.

Well if you are looking for the country with most Buddhists, then Communist China is for you with over 100 million of them.

If you want the country with the highest percentage of Buddhists , then Thailand is the place with over 95% Buddhists, followed closely by Cambodia with over 90%, and Myanmar with 88% .

You sure know how to pick 'em.

I'm sure they're enchanting places.

Celyon and Nepal are also a predominately Buddhist countries.

Buddhism is a major Asian religion, and has co-existed easily with Confucism and Taoism in China, and with Shintoism in Japan for most of the past 1000 years. Hinduism in India was so pervasive that Buddhism didn't prosper there as well as it did in other places. Islam suppressed Buddhism, and has been one of the greatest threats to our religion over the past several hundred years.

I believe the real future for Buddhism is in the West, and someday expect that American Buddhism will come to full flower. That hasn't happened yet, but there are promising signs. Fundamental Buddhist doctrines are very attractive to Westerners on religious quest. So far, Buddhism in the West still is weighed down with the cultural accessaries of Asia. Western Buddhists too often try fit themselves into an Asian mold, rather than to fit Buddhism into our own cultural heritage. There is nothing magic about Chinese, or Japanese, or Tibetan culture. Changing your name, chanting in a Dead Language, and adopting rituals developed to blend Buddhist doctrine into various Asian cultures obscures the Buddhist Teachings.

In the meantime, when asked about Buddhism, I try to answer the questions without using Pali, Sanskrit, Chinese, or Japanese terminology. Examples, analogies, parables, etc. have to be cast in our own cultural terms so that they become recognizable, familiar, and just another part of our view of the world. It isn't necessary to obscure the message with exotic and esoteric terms that in the end are little more than a passing fashion.

BTW ... I have it on good authority that Thailand is a delight, and it remains one of the few places I'd like to visit yet before I die. Arthur C. Clark settled in Ceylon as his own version of paradise on earth. There are certainly worse places to Be than Buddhist nations. How would you like to be stuck in Iran, Iraq, Syria, China, Russia, etc., etc. These are typically poor nations that haven't yet really entered the modern world, and as a consequence sanitation, health and nutrition remain major problems. Still, the people seem to be happy and content with life in the midst of its suffering.
