Buddhism in the Nordic Countries is a welcome anthology, providing the first overview of historical and contemporary Buddhist movements in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. It is a product of the maturing of the study of immigrant Buddhism, providing much to consider on the marked difference between migrant and native interest in Buddhism. The book is divided into ten chapters, composed of an introduction, five country presentations, three sections highlighting selected Buddhist individuals, and a joint conclusion.
