Buddhism in Morocco is a small religious minority in the kingdom of Morocco. Estimates for the number of Buddhists in Morocco range from a few dozen,[1] to under 0.01% of the population [2](or about 3000 people). The Pew Forum estimates that about 0.1% of Morocco's population is Buddhist.[3]
The vast majority of the Buddhists in Morocco are foreigners, especially from Vietnam, Indonesia and Cambodia.[4] There are Buddhist holy shrines in Rabat and Casablanca.[5]
