Mostly all NON-Christianity religions does not celebrate lent, such as Jewish and Muslim, but still many different religions do celebrate similar observance to pre indulgence prior to "fasting", for soul/body cleansing. Buddhists do celebrate "Buddhist Lent" but not for the same reasons as Christian Lent.
