Buddhism in Hungary has existed since 1951 when
In Hungary Buddhism has several forms, all of them with their own independent schools of thought. The different organisations coexist fairly harmoniously, but active communication between them is rather feeble.[2]
Officially seven stupas have been inaugurated in Hungary: two in Budapest, and one in Budakeszi, Bükkmogyorósd (Csernely), Zalaszántó, Tar, and Becskén. The Peace Stupa in Zalaszántó is the biggest Buddhist shrine in Europe with a 30-meter height and 24-meter width.[3]
Hungary has a Buddhist college named Dharma Gate Buddhist College in Budapest.[4]
History
Beginning
The ancient religion of Hungarian tribes was
Sándor Kőrösi Csoma, in the hope of finding the ancient homeland of the Hungarians, wanted to travel to India via Afghanistan, and further on to Mongolia via Tibet. Eventually he reached Ladakh in Northern India. During this period at Zanskar — Csoma was the first European to visit the valley — he was immersed in an intense sixteen-month study of the Tibetan language and the Indo-Tibetan Buddhism at the core of its literature, with a local lama, Sangs-rgyas-phun-tshogs. He was one of the first Europeans to master the Tibetan language and read two of the great encyclopaedias of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist literature, the Kangyur (100 volumes) and the bsTan-'gyur (224 volumes), which contained translations of Buddhist books brought from India.[6] Kőrösi Csoma was given the title of bodhisattva in Tokyo in 1933 at the Taishyo Buddhist University as Csoma Bosatsu.[7][8]
After Kőrösi Csoma
Buddhism appeared first in Hungary in the end of the 1890s, when József Hollósy, brother of painter Simon Hollósy, took refuge and wrote Buddhista Káté (1893).
Writer Géza Gárdonyi also believed in reincarnation and there was a time when he wanted to convert to Buddhism.[11][12]
The first official Sangha in Hungary was founded in 1951-ben by Ernő Hetényi who was ordained in Germany in 1938. The actual date of the foundation of the Hungarian Buddhist Mission is 18 February 1952.[13] Arya Maitreya Mandala German Buddhist order was founded by
In 1990, due to several issues, the Kőrösi Csoma Sándor Institute was closed, but later, two great historical figures of Hungarian Buddhism, Dobosy Antal and Takács László, reorganised and reopened it. After this Buddhist orders and schools were open throughout the country. The sudden liberty and the large number of institutions also involved some degree of drop in quality. New books appeared which were mainly translations from English. A large part of the works of Sándor Kőrösi Csoma remain untranslated to this day.
