8 Today there are an estimated 500–700 million Buddhists, including those who profess to be Buddhists but also practice other faiths.

算上那些对外声称是佛教徒却也有其他信仰的人,现在有大约5到7亿的佛教徒。18到19世纪的欧洲殖民,一方面的影响是使那些通常生活在传统佛教土地上被奴役的人们,开始效忠于佛像,并且了解了其他地方的传统。佛教已经在西方的大部分国家扎根,同时在与有佛教发展前景的地方的思想的碰撞中产生了创造性的结果。比如说,西方的佛教徒对于女权主义和性别的角色显示了极大的兴趣。作为印度的一个宗教信仰,在那些不明就里就成为跨国宗教组织中,佛教只是占了很小的一部分。由于这是一个在世界占主要地位的宗教,所以这项世界性的宗教运动有着所有的标识并且得到了承认。佛教继续吸引着才华横溢的和虔诚的追随者,这些人中,一部分居住在佛像所建立的寺院中,其他冷淡一些的佛教追随者则生活在社会上。然而,佛教仍然坚定地以最基本的伦理道德和两千年前佛教建立者所传授的观念为基础。

算上那些对外声称是佛教徒却也有其他信仰的人,现在有大约5到7亿的佛教徒。(好)
One side effect of European colonization efforts in the 18th and 19th centuries was that subject populations, often in traditional Buddhist lands, became aware of other traditions in other places, all paying allegiance to the Buddha.
18到19世纪的欧洲殖民,一方面的影响是使那些通常生活在传统佛教土地上被奴役的人们,开始效忠于佛像,并且了解了其他地方的传统。(句子结构理解不到位,这里subject应该不是指被殖民者,而是指在佛教信仰昌盛地区殖民者)
改为:十八、十九世纪的欧洲殖民带来的影响之一,就是使得殖民者——通常是居住在世代信仰佛教之地的殖民者,开始了解异地传统,并皈依佛教。

Buddhism has sunk roots in most countries of the West, with creative results from the mixing of the concerns in these places with Buddhist perspectives.
佛教已经在西方的大部分国家扎根,同时在与有佛教发展前景的地方的思想的碰撞中产生了创造性的结果。(后面半句太长,连续三个“的”影响理解;perspective不应理解为发展前景,而是观念、观点)
建议:佛教已在大部分西方国家中扎根,这些地方的主流思想与佛教思想的融合,产生了创造性的结果。

Western Buddhists have, for instance, shown keen interest in feminism and the role of sexuality.
比如说,西方的佛教徒对于女权主义和性别的角色显示了极大的兴趣。(好)
As an Indian religion Buddhism was a minor sect among many, which grew somehow into a transnational institution.
作为印度的一个宗教信仰,在那些不明就里就成为跨国宗教组织中,佛教只是占了很小的一部分。(somehow不能译为“不明就里”,minor sect意为小教派)(在跨国组织中加入“宗教”二字很好)
改为:作为印度的一种宗教,佛教起初只是众多教派中的一个小教派,不知不觉发展为跨国的宗教组织。

This worldwide movement has all the signs of and receives the recognition due to a major religion.
由于这是一个在世界占主要地位的宗教,所以这项世界性的宗教运动有着所有的标识并且得到了承认。(due to是修饰signs和recognition)
改为:这一世界性的宗教运动具有一个大派宗教所具有的所有特征,并受到了认可。

It continues to attract talented and dedicated followers, some living in the monastic institution established by the Buddha, others living in society as lay followers.
佛教继续吸引着才华横溢的和虔诚的追随者,这些人中,一部分居住在佛像所建立的寺院中,其他冷淡一些的佛教追随者则生活在社会上。
改为:佛教继续吸引着才华横溢的和虔诚的追随者,这些人中,一部分居住在佛教的寺院中,另外一部分则作为居士在社会中生活。
However, it remains firmly based on the simple ethical code and perceptions taught by the founder, more than 2,000 years ago.
然而,佛教仍然坚定地以最基本的伦理道德和两千年前佛教建立者所传授的观念为基础。(taught by应是修饰ethical code和perceptions两个部分)
改为:不过不管怎么发展,佛教仍坚定地遵从佛教创立者于两千多年前所教导的简单道德规范和观念。
