Other Countries - Vietnam, Korea, and Japan

By tradition, the Indian Zen master Vinitaruci, a disciple of the third Chinese ancestor Jianzhi Sengsan (I3), established the first Zen school in Vietnam in 580 C.E. In 820 the
Chinese master Wu Yantong, a disciple of Baizhang Huaihai (A9), went to Vietnam and started the prominent Vo-Ngon-Thong Zen school. The Chinese monk Cao Tang, a disciple of
the Yunmen lineage master Xuedou Chongxian (H16), established the Vietnamese Thao-Duong Zen school in the late eleventh century. Although these schools passed out of existence, Zen gained new life in Vietnam when the Nguyen Thieu and Lieu-Quan schools, branches of the Linji/Yangqi lineage, were established there in the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries. These two schools have continued to modern times.
Beginning with the fourth Chinese ancestor, Dayi Daoxin, many Chinese Zen masters had Korean disciples. In particular, some Chinese masters who studied under the great
Mazu Daoyi (A8) had Korean students. Several of these individuals returned home as confirmed Zen masters to help create the "Nine Sn (Zen) Mountains," nine famous schools of
Korean Zen. The king of Korea once dispatched thirty-six monks from his kingdom to study under the Chinese Fayan master Yongming Yanshou (O17), each of them receiving dharma transmission. The recorded teachings of the Chinese Linji/Yangqi teacher Dahui Zonggao (A22) exerted great influence on Pojo Chinul (1158-1210), the famous Korean master
who revitalized Zen in that country. Perhaps most significantly, the Chinese Zen master Shiwu confirmed the enlightenment of the Korean master Taegu Pou (C23), passing to him
dharma transmission of the Linji/Yangqi lineage. Taegu Pou then returned to Korea and unified the "Nine Mountains" into the Chogye order, thereafter the main Korean Zen school
down to the present day.
Several individuals carried Zen to Japan during its early history. The first was the monk Dsh (628-670), who introduced Zen to Japan after studying under Huiman, a second
generation Chinese disciple of Dazu Huike (I2). Myan Eisai (A23) established Rinzai Zen in Japan after receiving dharma transmission from the Chinese Linji/Huanglong master
Xuan Huaichang. Soon thereafter, Eihei Dgen (E24) traveled to China and received transmission from the Caodong master Tiantong Rujing. Dgen is regarded as the founder of
St Zen in Japan. The Yangqi branch of the Linji school took root in Japan with the Japanese master Nampo Jmy (B23), a disciple of the Chinese master Xutang Zhiyu. Eighteen
generations after Jmy, this line reached Hakuin Ekaku, who revitalized the Japanese Rinzai school during the eighteenth century.

Bodhidharma
The Traditional First Zen Ancestor in
China, 28th in the Lineage
Descending from Shakyamuni Buddha

All Zen (Chinese, "Chan") schools in the world today are derived from the Buddhist masters of ancient China displayed on this "map." At the top is Bodhidharma, the twentyeighth master of the traditional lineage descending from Shakyamuni, the historical Buddha. Remembered as the "First Ancestor" of China, Bodhidharma transmitted Zen from India
around the late fifth century C.E. Below Bodhidharma are his spiritual descendants, who were in turn the disciples and masters of later Zen generations.
The "Sixth Ancestor," Dajian Huineng (I6), is the most famous of the ancient Chinese Zen masters. Five traditionally prominent Zen schools, or "houses," trace their historical
line through Huineng and his two students, Nanyue Huairang and Qingyuan Xingsi. These five houses are named, in chronological order, the Guiyang, Linji, Caodong, Yunmen, and
Fayan schools. During the eleventh century the Linji school divided into the prominent Huanglong and Yangqi branches. Dajian Huineng and his lineage are know as the
"Southern" school of Zen. But besides this historically dominant school and its five houses, other Zen schools also existed. Four of themthe Oxhead, Northern, Sichuan, and Heze
schoolsare represented on this map with their founders.
Individual boxes on the map list, from top to bottom, each ancestor's name as it is written in Chinese pinyin transliteration, Chinese Wade-Giles transliteration, Chinese characters, and Japanese romaji transliteration, respectively. Birth and death dates are then indicated when known. Quotation marks indicate alternative names. Chinese names are omitted for individuals from Korea and Japan. Disciples of one teacher are arranged with the more senior student on the left.
The index lists the names of individuals alphabetically according to their pinyin spellings. The "Location" column displays each ancestor's position on the map. The chapter (or
"case") numbers of certain classic Zen texts where an ancestor prominently appears are indicated. Virtually all of the Zen masters on this map had other disciples who are not shown.
