Several questions emerged from a Virtual Symposium that took place in August 2020 with practitioners and scholars of Buddhism, some of them Buddhist translators from different languages (Chinese, Japanese, Tibetan and Sanskrit) into Portuguese. The motivation of this meeting was to discuss important questions about Buddhism in our day and age, its opportunities and challenges. Throughout the debate it became evident that there is a great cultural gap between Brazil and Asian countries. It also reveals the sophistication and rigor required for translations, as well as the need and difficulty of establishing this debate in academia. This article presents the most important points of each speech, puts them in perspective and makes final considerations about the challenges and opportunities present in the broad topic of translations and academic dialogue with Buddhism.
