Zenji Nio has lectured alongside the Buddhist professor of Oxford who was so impressed with Zenji Nio's unique expertise in Sanskrit Buddhism as well as his passionate and powerful oratorical skills that she invited Zenji to tour the Oxford facility and discuss plans to make Buddhism accessible to Asian youth that balance scholarship with lived experience. While Zenji Nio has lectured alongside the world's top Buddhist scholars to much acclaim, his focus is on the mainstream and youth as well as Asians who need to cultivate pride and confidence in their culture. Making Buddhism easy and accessible is more important to Zenji Nio than making it scholastic and academic.
