There is a Buddhist Temple near Lovina. There are several monks at this temple and more students.
In 1977, I spoke to the Thai monk (now deceased) who set up this temple. At that time according to him there were 20,000 Buddhists in Bali made up of 10,000 Chinese Buddhists and 10,000 Balinese Buddhists whose ancestors refused to become Hindus.
The Lonely Planet book on Indonesia falsely claims that the village of Budakeling near Tirta Gangga is Buddhist. In fact, it is a Hindu village.
