Abstract
This article summarizes 130 years of Brazilian history since 1888, when slavery was abolished, to set the socioeconomic and cultural grounds which made possible the arrival of the first immigrants, particularly the Japanese, in 1908, who brought Buddhism as their religion. After the war, the Japanese colony in Brazil split up with violence and that opened up the door for the arrival of the first Buddhist missions. In 1952, the Shinshu Otani-ha Order, founded in 1321 in Japan, begins to build up its 64-year history in Brazil, with the construction of the first temples, up to the foundation of the Institute of Missionary Studies, which now makes public translations of sacred texts and other literature in Portuguese.
