=== Recruitment ===
Scholars have said that the NKT's use of publicity is unusual among Buddhist groups.<ref>Waterhouse, Helen (1997). ''Buddhism in Bath: Adaptation and Authority''.

David Kay says that the NKT-IKBU is sensitive to criticism on the subject of expansion.{{sfn|Kay|2004|p=96}} Robert Bluck attributes NKT-IKBU's rapid growth to "a wish to share the Dharma rather than 'conversion and empire-building'".<ref name="Bluck, Robert 2006 p. 188"/>
