Not pp but I'm not aware of any Buddhists that have their missionaries do outreach work in communities across the US. Nor Muslim, or Hindu for that matter. Do they exist?

In fact, Buddhists were responsible for the first wide-scale missionary work. The religion holds that its tenets are universal and meant for all people around the world [source: Jestice]. As early as the third century B.C., King Asoka asked Buddhist missionaries to go and spread the religion beyond India.

They provide instructive comparisons with Anglo-American Protestant missionary thinking and offer insights into the internal dynamics of Sri Lankan and Japanese missions as they make their way in Protestant and Catholic societies. Also included are nuanced studies of two major missionary figures in late twentieth-century Chinese Buddhism and a fascinating look at the present Dalai Lama’s relationships with his devotees and the American government, viewed through an exposition of the abiding tradition within Tibetan Buddhism that combines mission activity with the political goals of exiled lamas.

Probably nothing compared to LDS, but Buddhists are definitely missionaries.[/quote]
