Japanese Buddhist Schools

Historical Thread

Tendai, Shingon, Pure Land, Nichiren, Zen

A special transmission outside the scriptures;
No dependence upon words and letters;
Direct pointing at the soul of man:
Seeing into one's nature and the attainment of Buddhahood.

(Bodhidharma definition of Chan/Zen Buddhism)
