Around 0.1% of the population, mostly by east Asians who have migrated to South Africa.
Mostly Buddhism and Shamanism
Buddhism is least evident in the country of India.
people practicing Hinduism mainly live in India today. They can also be found in other parts of the world, such as Nepal, Mauritius, Africa and America, UK and Europe.
Buddhism is practiced all over the world. While the Shakyamuni or Guatama Buddha originally taught in Nepal and India, the majority of those populations today are not Buddhists. Tibet, Bhutan, Thailand, and a few other southeast Asian nations are primarily Buddhist, and there are large populations of Buddhists in Japan and China, and in Western countries Buddhist practices are being adopted and transformed rapidly.
Today, Buddhism can be found all across Asia - in fact, all across the world. It is most popular in east Asia, though.
Buddhism evolved by that buddha shared his knowledge around Asia and the followers decided to become Buddhism. Today in 2012 there are not many people that believe in Buddha.
I am assuming that what you are asking is how does Buddhism today compare to what the Buddha taught. Buddhism over the years has been enriched by each culture that has been exposed to; changing the nature of practice just slightly each time. So Chan Buddhism (China) is slightly different in practice then is Zen Buddhism (Japan, Korea). But the teachings have always remained the same. Now when I speak of practice, it is the methods used to teach the Dharma (the teachings). The biggest change in Buddhism since the Buddha is the development of Mahayana Buddhism. Mahayana Buddhism, to which is the tradition I practice, added teachings from later Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to The Buddha's original teachings in regards to living a compassionate life to help all other beings. So Buddhism adapts the methods but never the message or teachings.
Yes. Buddhism has about 500 million followers throughout the world. Many others incorporate some aspects of Buddhism into their lives even if they follow other religions. In some countries in the western world Buddhism is the fastest growing religion.
Most people in the Middle East today practice Islam.
