Current Practice
In Indonesia Buddhism is mainly followed by the Chinese and some indigenous groups of Indonesia, with 0.8%(including Taoism and Confucianism) of Indonesia's population being Buddhists.
A small minority of Sasaks called the "Bodha" (estimated population: 8000) are mainly found in the village of Bentek and on the slopes of Gunung Rinjani, Lombok. They are totally untouched by Islamic influence and worship animistic gods, incorporating some Hindu and Buddhist influences in their rituals and religious vocabulary. This group of Sasak, due in part to the name of their tribe, are recognized as Buddhists by the Indonesian government.
