  • Theravada Buddhism is the largest religion in Laos, which is practiced by 66% of the population. Lao Buddhism is a unique version of Theravada Buddhism and is at the basis of ethnic Lao culture. Buddhism in Laos is often closely tied to animist beliefs and belief in ancestral spirits, particularly in rural areas. However, Laos is a multi-ethnic country with a large proportion of non-Buddhist groups that adhere to religions that are often subsumed under the denominator "animism", but that can also substantially overlap with Buddhism, or a least contain Buddhist elements resulting from cross-cultural contact. The percentage of the population that adheres to Buddhism in modern Laos is variously reported, the CIA World Factbook estimates 66% of the total population identify as Buddhist. Although this overall number is likely to be correct, there are large variations from province to province. Ethnic minority provinces like Sekong had only a quota of 20% of Buddhists in 2005, while provinces largely populated by ethnic Lao like Champassak reach 92% in the same year. There are also some Chinese or Vietnamese Mahayana Buddhists, primarily in urban centers. (en)
  • Agama Buddha merupakan agama dengan jumlah penganut terbesar di Laos dengan persentase sebesar 65%. Aliran agama Buddha yang dianut oleh sebagian besar umat Buddha di Laos adalah aliran Theravada. Agama Buddha di Laos sudah terintegrasi dengan kebudayaan dan kepercayaan asli masyarakat Laos. (in)
  • Le bouddhisme au Laos est la principale religion de ce pays, dans sa branche Theravāda, pratiquée par 66% de la population. On retrouve un chiffre similaire de 65% dans le CIA World Factbook. Toutefois, ce pourcentage varie selon les provinces. Celles à minorité ethnique comme Sekong comptent environ 20% de bouddhistes en 2005, tandis que les provinces majoritairement peuplées par l'ethnie Lao, comme Champassak, atteignent 92% la même année. Il existe également des bouddhistes Mahayana chinois ou vietnamiens, principalement dans les centres urbains. D'autre part, le bouddhisme laotien reprend des croyances animistes et celles des esprits ancestraux, en particulier dans les zones rurales. Et il coexiste avec les « religions populaires » (folk religions) que l'on peut regrouper sous le terme général d'animisme et qui regroupent environ un tiers de la population. Ces croyances et pratiques présentent des éléments syncrétiques du bouddhisme dont elles incluent certains éléments. (fr)
  • Il buddhismo è la religione principale del Laos, praticato nella sua tradizione Theravada; questa versione del buddhismo sta alla base dell'intera cultura laotiana, anche se spesso strettamente legata a credenze rifacentesi all'animismo e alle convinzioni sull'esistenza di spiriti ancestrali, in particolare nelle zone rurali. La percentuale della popolazione che aderisce al buddismo nel moderno Laos è variamente percentualizzata, il CIA World Factbook ad esempio stima che il 65% della popolazione totale abbia preso rifugio nei Tre Gioielli. La creazione di stime accurate del numero dei buddisti in Laos è complicato inoltre dalla scarsità delle informazioni messe a disposizione da parte del governo del Laos, e la stretta connessione tra buddismo e pratiche animiste potrebbe assommare il numero di aderenti nominali al Buddismo-animismo fino a più del 90%, in quanto tali tradizioni hanno influito specificamente per lo più su persone Lao. Ci sono infine un numero significativo di cinesi o vietnamiti buddisti che seguono il Mahayana. (it)
  • O Budismo é a principal religião do Laos, sendo que a tradição Theravada é a mais largamente praticada. O Budismo Lao é uma versão singular do Budismo Theravada e está na base da cultura laociana. Esta religião é muitas vezes intimamente ligada às crenças animistas e aos espíritos dos antepassados, principalmente nas zonas rurais.. (pt)
  • Буддизм в Лаосе, в форме тхеравады, пришедшей через тайское и кхмерское посредничество, играет важную роль в культуре и национальном самосознании. С буддизмом связано появление лаосской письменности и все значимые произведения искусства. Подавляющее большинство верующего населения Лаоса является буддистами. Буддизм в Лаосе подвергся влиянию местных условий, в частности, влияние местных культов на буддизм заметно в сельской местности. (ru)
  • 佛教,是老撾的主要宗教,也是老撾文化的基礎。在老撾實行的佛教主要是上座部傳統,但较为獨特;另有少數大乘佛教。老撾的佛教通常與泰族萬物有靈信仰和祖先崇拜密切相關,特別是在農村地區。 據美國中央情報局世界概況介紹,據估計,現代老撾的佛教人口比例比起之前有所變化,占總人口的65%。由於老撾政府提供的信息不足,準確估計老撾佛教徒人數的情況變得複雜,老撾佛教和萬物有靈論之間的密切聯繫可能使名義上的佛教信徒數量高達90%以上。 國內也有相當數量的華裔和越南裔信奉大乘佛教。 (zh)
