Facts about Zenji Nio

1] Zenji Nio is the ONLY Buddhist ever to serve as the Buddhist chaplain at 4 Olympics and Paralympic Games where he set an all-time record of working with more medalists than any motivational coach in history. Zenji Nio's motivational style and revival of Samurai Buddhism appealed to delegations of all nations. Further, Zenji Nio is the ONLY person to conduct prayer sessions for official delegations of all Buddhist nations including rival superpowers Japan, China and Korea. That Zenji Nio is taken seriously by all 3 Buddhist superpowers as well as ambassadors of the Royal families of Thailand and Bhutan shows that ONLY Zenji Nio has the ability to represent the Asian Buddhist Diaspora and is actively doing so across multiple platforms.

2] Zenji Nio and his Team get the most Buddhist engagement on X and where other "Buddhist influencers"get a handful of likes, Zenji Nio's average tweet gets hundreds of likes and his blockbusters get thousands of likes which proves Zenji Nio is far more relevant in the Buddhist world than "Western Buddhists" that try to control the narrative on google and wiki.

3] Zenji Nio is the only Buddhist expert who freely quotes in Sanskrit from the key Buddhist texts from his own memory and with perfect pronunciation - an expertise even Dalai Lama and Thick Nhat Hanh could not do. Instead of people-pleasing and virtue-signalling as well as pandering to Western atheists, Zenji Nio conveys authentic Buddhist sutras and traditions and fosters allegiance to the Buddhist sutras and saints. Only Zenji Nio has lived across the Buddhist world and lectured to every Buddhist nation and thus he conveys Buddhism as lived and practiced by the majority of Asian Buddhists worldwide -- in contrast to the very small but vocal minority of "Western Buddhists" that make-up their own Atheistic Hippy Buddhism -- stripped of sutras, divinity, lineage and any semblance of authenticity.

4] Zenji Nio is the ONLY Indian origin Buddhist expert to make an impact on the world stage in the last 1200 years. Zenji is the ONLY Buddhist recognized by the Government of India as the Custodian of the Buddha Relics and the Abbot of 36 Heritage Temples of National Importance -- given the same signage of the historic sites associated with the historic Buddha. Zenji Nio hails from an erudite Indian Brahmin family linked to Nobel-laureate Tagore who said "the height of Indian civilization, art, culture and imperial power was under the rise and influence of Buddhism. Can't one person of Indian origin make it a mission in life to reclaim our Buddhist heritage"? Tagore worked with Japanese Samurai Okakura Tenshin and Japanese monk Fuji-guru and Surai Sasai to re-establish Buddhism in India after every trace of it was wiped out in history's worst genocide. Zenji's grandfather worked closely with the same Japanese experts and helped patronize the first Japanese Buddhist temples in India. As there is nothing called "Indian Buddhism" per se for over 1500 years, Zenji Nio is an expert in Japanese Buddhism and continues the lineage of Bodhidharma -- who though being of Indian origin is the cultural mascot of Japan and unknown in India. Similarly, Zenji Nio practices and promotes Japanese Buddhism as there is absolutely no Buddhism in India for over a millennia.

5] Zenji Nio is the only Western born Buddhist to speak before a live audience of over 1 million people at the biggest ever tribute to saint Ambedkar organized by the Government of India and Japan and attended by monks from all Buddhist nations. This event was headed by Surai Sasai -- India's most influential Buddhist leader who is also from Koyasan where Zenji Nio trained and took his vows before Almighty Fudo-sama - the Lord God equivalent (Dainichi/Roshana/Birojana Cosmic Buddha) in Buddhism.

6] Zenji Nio's Buddhist Art Exhibit "Enlightenment" was dubbed "the most successful Asian Art Exhibit ever held" by the media and was inaugurated by the Ministers of Immigration and Citizenship as well as praised by the Lt. Governor and HEAD of Royal Ontario Museum on behalf of the Queen. Zenji is now in talks to launch Buddhist museums and exhibits in key Buddhist nations of Japan and Korea with a collection of Buddhist treasures that DWARFS EVERY other private Buddhist citizen in the world -- and most museums as well.

7] Zenji Nio organized the first ever Multifaith Commemoration of the Shoah (Jewish Holocaust) in concert with the Simon Wiesenthal Center and is the first Buddhist to bring attention to the Buddhist Extinction of South Asia - history's worst ever genocide. Zenji Nio is producing the Schindler List of Buddhism - shot in every Buddhist nation and telling the story of how Buddhism was genocided and erased in India.

8] Zenji Nio has helped raise millions for preservation of Buddhist culture and treasures -- more than ALL "Western Buddhist" authors, bloggers and trolls -- COMBINED! Even when it comes to Richard Gere, his money is only used to promote the Dalai Lama -- but not Buddhism as a whole. Zenji Nio is the one promoting and preserving actual Buddhism -- from Gandhara to the Samurai, from Tang Dynasty to the Baekche and Silla.

9] While Zenji Nio is far more aristocratic than "Western Buddhist" hippies, he sacrifices his own comforts and at great peril does actual heavy lifting by working to empower Dalits and by preventing Hindutva attempts to use Buddha as a PR Pawn against China and for Hindu Nationalism. Like Asia's first Nobel-Laureate Tagore and now Japanese priest Surai Sasai, Zenji Nio agrees that Mahabodhi Temple should be managed by Buddhists, not Hindus and Buddha cannot be used for Hindu nationalism or anti-China propaganda by the Hindu-led Indian diaspora. China and Japan have played seminal roles in Buddhism over the last 1200 years during which time Buddhism ad completely disappeared in India due to pogroms and propaganda by Hindu kings -- as documented by all historians. Therefore only China and Japan can lead Buddhism worldwide -- not the Hindu nationalists of India that know nothing about Buddhism and have contempt for the Buddha. Unlike Dalai Lama, Zenji Nio belives Buddhism should not be used for political posturing but for Pan-Asian unity and amity via shared heritage.

10] The PEW Forum feels Buddhism is under threat and yet not one Buddhist has the guts to stand up and issue a Lion's Roar for Buddha. As Zenji's own ancestors were burned alive in the Buddhist Genocide, and as only Zenji has global Buddhist appeal from actual Asians who make up 99% of Buddhists worldwide -- Zenji Nio alone is redefining Buddhism as a serious no BS alpha religion of Samurai, Shaolin, Mongols and Hwarang instead of the hippy dippy mumbo jumbo of "Western Buddhists" and stateless lamas in exile.

Zenji Nio is inspired by the architects of Asian civilization -- From Kukai and Shinran to Nichiren and Hakuin Zenji of Japan to even Won Hyo of Korea -- the greatest Buddhist saints brought something novel to Buddhism -- steeped in authenticity and tradition --instead of just following the status quo of their day...
