Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Buddhism Buddhism is a legally recognized religion in Slovenia and it is followed by more than 1,000 Slovenes, though no official numbers are established as the previous census did not include Buddhism specifically. Although still small in absolute numbers (though Slovenia has only 2 million inhabitants), Buddhism in Slovenia enjoys widespread acceptance if not popularity.Шаблон:Citation needed

As in most European countries, different branches and schools of Buddhism are represented by groups of varying sizes. The largest traditions represented are Theravada and Vajrayana. There is a Buddhist temple in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia,[1] and Theravada hermitage in the forested countryside in Goljek, near Trebnje, which belongs to Ajahn Chah lineage.

In Slovenia, the competent administration dealing with religions is the Governmental Office for Religious Community of Republic of Slovenia,[2] and a newly approved regulation has been enacted in 2007.[3]
