List of Buddhists

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Yoko santoso (talk | contribs) at 15:06, 23 October 2010 (Buddhist practitioners notable in other fields). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This is a list of notable Buddhists, encompassing all the major branches of the religion, and including interdenominational and eclectic Buddhist practitioners. This list includes both formal teachers of Buddhism, and people notable in other areas who are publicly Buddhist or who have espoused Buddhism.

Historical Buddhist thinkers and founders of schools

Individuals are grouped by nationality, except in cases where their influence was felt elsewhere. Gautama Buddha and his immediate disciples ('Buddhists') are listed separately from later Indian Buddhist thinkers, teachers and contemplatives.
