The Bloodline of the Buddha’s and Ancestors’ Transmission
of the Great Bodhisattva Precepts
Gabor Terebess’s Zen Lineage Chart

It is worth mentioning that the line gets splitted apart at Dajian Huineng and join back up at Eihei Dogen as the left-hand side is the Rinzai (Linji) line, and the right-hand side is the Soto (Caodong) line, reflecting Dogen's early teacher Myozen, as well as Rujing.

„In the Kechimyaku we write the names of the Ancestors in Buddhism to whom the Precepts were Transmitted. We call it the Kechimyaku or Kaimyaku. The real existence is beyond delusion and the transcendental Precepts. We should know and understand this same Budhahood, and its whole representation, on the silk of the Kechimyaku. The reason is as follows.
First of all, there is a circle at the top. We then write Shakyamuni Buddha, Makakashyo, Ananda, the eighty and more ancestors, the present master and the new disciple. The red line comes from the circle at the top and penetrates the names of the above, returning back to the same circle above Shakyamuni Buddha. Therefore the new disciple who is converted is one with the immaculate circle above Shakayamuni Buddha which has no beginning and no end.
The so-called Mind of the Buddha and that of ourselves is the same and not different. We should realise the true meaning of the Kechimyaku.”

(Rev. Suigan Yogo, fukukanin at Daihonzan Sōji-ji, 1967)

 

„What is it that gives a firm foundation to Buddhsim? To this we must answer that it is the uninterrupted direct succession from master to disciple (menju shihô). In this direct succession (menju) the personalities of master and disciple are fused into one, the spirit being handed on from one person to the next is without interruption. This Transmission is not based on historical studies, but stands firmly on deep faith.”

(Chisan Kohô (1879-1967), Chief Abbot of Daihonzan Sōji-ji)

 

Dôgen’s Shôbôgenzô
[57] MENJU
The Face-to-Face Transmission

Men means face, and ju means transmission. Menju means the transmission of the Dharma from a master to a disciple face to face. In Buddhism, what is transmitted from a master to a disciple is not only abstract theory, but also something real, including actual conduct, physical health, and intuitional wisdom. Therefore the transmission of this real something cannot be actualized solely through explanations with words, or simply by passing on some manuscript. For this reason, the Dharma that Gautama Buddha taught has been transmitted in person from master to disciple since the days of Gautama Buddha. Without this personal contact, the Buddhist Dharma cannot be transmitted. In this chapter, Master Dogen praises the transmission of the Buddhist Dharma and explains its importance.

The Two Main Lineages of Modern Sōtō

Each priest of the Sōtō school today belongs to an uninterrupted line which traces itself either to Gasan Jōseki Zenji (1276-1366) or to Meihō Sotetsu Zenji (1277-1350), two disciples of Keizan Zenji, all other Japanese lines having since become extinct.

On the eighteenth day of the ninth month of the first year of the Pao-ching Era of the Sung Dynasty (1225), the late abbot of the Tien-tung instructed me, Eihei Dogen Osho, saying: "The Buddha Sila are the single most important matter of our school. In the past, the masters of Mount Grdhakuta, Shao-len, Tsao-chi, and Mount Tung transmitted these Dharma Sila of the Tathagata to their successors generation after generation until they came to me." Now I transmit them to you. You should receive them in deep faith and not permit them to be discontinued. For this I earnestly pray.

 

(Note: These are names of the traditional Zen lineage of Dharma Transmission Ancestors from Shakyamuni Buddha from India through Bodhidharma into China, to Dogen in Japan, and up to Noiri Roshi; given with the traditionally chanted Sino-Japanese pronunciations.)
