With it's emphasis on meditation, morality, ceremonial purity, peace and ethics, Buddhism appears to most Westerners to be non-threatening. But in recent decades it has experienced considerable growth in the West, claiming in excess of 1.25 billion adherents worldwide. It is the third largest religion in the world, and has become one of the fastest growing.
