Samurai Buddhism (Fudo-Shu)
Samurai Buddhism is founded by Rev. Zenji Nio and used by Olympians worldwide. Inspired by Tendai-trained saints like Shinran, Honen, Nichiren & Dogen Zenji who started their own sects, Zenji Nio has founded Fudo Shu or Samurai Buddhism based on Bushido-based Buddhism of history's greatest warriors from Tokugawa & Shingen to Musashi & Benkei.

Samurai Buddhism that set records at Olympics
Preserving & promoting Japanese Buddhism (Yamato Bukkyo -- a term created by Zenji Nio that has become very popular in Japan) & Bushido as taught by the Tokugawa Shogunate & Samurai heroes - history's greatest warriors & creators of Japan's Golden Age. This tough no BS Buddhism appeals to alpha Buddhists & birthed the world's most admired civilization of Japan -- where Tokyo dwarfs NY, LA & London combined - and Kyoto regularly tops the polls as "Best City". Most of the temples in Kyoto and around Japan including the 3 most popular temples of Tokyo bear insignia of the famous Samurai Clans who were the greatest patrons and protectors of Buddhism in history.


Our Mission
Pan Asian Pride
The Shogun also worked on amity and good relations with Korea that influenced Prince Shotoku as well as respect for the Tang Dynasty that gave lineage to Kobo Daishi -- and therefore Samurai Buddhism fosters Pan-Asian Pride and cultural ties between the top 3 Buddhist nations of Japan, Korea & China. Furthermore, we are the first movement to stress lessons of the Buddhist Extinction of India - history's worst genocide where all Buddhists of South Asia were killed or converted to Hinduism.Japan brought Buddhism back to India 1200 years after its extinction & the Japanese priest of Koysasan Surai Sasai is the most influential Buddhist in India today. Similarly, Japanese Buddhism is the most followed school of Buddhism across the Western world and Japan is also the only G7 Asian nation that taught all Asians to industrialize. Therefore Samurai Buddhism channels ASIAN PRIDE in our glorious ancestors and gives Asians a voice to represent authentic Asian Buddhism as followed by 99 percent of Buddhists worldwide. Inspired by the Kamakura Schools of Buddhism by saints like Shinran, Honen, Nichiren and Dogen Zenji, Fudo Shu or Samurai Buddhism is a powerful , no BS alpha Buddhism for winners and warriors.
