Buddhist Federation of Norway
The Buddhist Federation of Norway is an umbrella organization for the different Buddhist groups in Norway. It was founded in 1979 by two Buddhist groups with the aim of creating an organization to deal with issues of common interest for all Norwegian Buddhists, and which could represent all the separate groups to the government. The main goal of Buddhistforbundet today is to foster communication and good relations between Buddhists of all traditions and groups, in order to promote Buddhist principles and practice in Norway.
