Only Zenji Nio has engaged Buddhists of all traditions
Zenji Nio was called "a better Buddhist speaker than the Dalai Lama" by the Head of Parliament of World Religions in Canada and Zenji Nio was also chosen to be the keynote speaker at the Proclamation of Vesak at Queen's Park organized by University of Toronto. Zenji Nio has a unique resume and reach in Buddhism that is unprecedented among the "Buddhist scene" as he is the only Buddhist from the oldest Sanskrit Hybrid tradition who has actually lived and taught Buddhism worldwide -- launching the biggest global projects for Asian culture and then representing Buddhism at the world's top forums. Zenji Nio uniquely links Buddhism to Asian pride and culture which is very important and yet unaddressed by hippy "Western Buddhists" or stateless Lamas.
