Topic: Dharma transmission


  
 Encyclopedia: Dharma
The Dharma is one of the Three Jewels, and Buddhists are said to seek refuge in it as in the Buddha and the Sangha.
Dharma transmission is the act of passing the Zen or Chan Buddhist doctrine from a master to student.
The word Dharma (Sanskrit; "धर्म" in the Devanagari script) or dhamma (Pali) is used in most or all philosophies and religions of Indian origin, the dharmic faiths, namely Hinduism (Sanatana Dharma), Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism.

 Face to Face: the Meaning Comes Alive
Transmission, not as something from A to B, but as identification, points directly to the teaching that each of us is already Buddha.
So Dharma Transmission is about two people using the form of the ceremony as a vehicle, bringing forth their effort, and equal to the effort that is made, the meaning comes forth.
The Zen tradition often brings up for study the story of the transmission between Shakyamuni Buddha and his disciple Mahakashyapa.

 The Dharma of Mind Transmission
This Dharma is "without-words" Dharma; this Buddha is "without-words" Buddha.
During this Dharma-ending age, when the Dharma has almost disappeared, there is a good opportunity and the perfect time for those monks who have taken a Great Vow to spread Dharma and to bear and transmit to future generations, for continued use, the wisdom-life of all Buddhas, not to let their Vow weaken or die.
This discernment of reality is the Dharma, which is no other than the awareness of Buddha as no Buddha and the Sangha as the Sangha of non-action and the realization of the Precious Three as One Body.

 Ordinary Mind Zendo
Dharma transmission isn't a matter of giving and getting, but an acknowledgement of intimacy, an acknowledgement of One Mind, Buddha smiling at Buddha.
Of all the disciples, only Mahakasyapa, recognized that this simple gesture was the teisho, and that with the Buddha had fully revealed the Dharma.
This case tells the legend of the first transmission of the Dharma - a story that for centuries has served as the model of master - disciple intimacy.

 Roshi and his Teachers
Because Dharma transmission is a prerequisite to becoming the head priest of a Soto branch temple, virtually all Soto priests meet this ritual requirement at a relatively early stage in their careers.
There are a number, however, who have practiced Zen for many years, attained spiritual insight, and have been encouraged by their teachers to spread the Dharma and help others in Zen practice.
So in the Soto school, which is what almost all Japanese Zen is, Dharma transmission lacks the criterion of realization that ensures the continuation of an enlightened mind-seal from generation to generation.

 Establishing Hierarchy in Ch'an/Zen Buddhism in America
Dharma transmission, according to convention, is the formal recognition on the part of the Master that the student has attained an understanding equal to that of the teacher.
However, the rhetoric of Zen hinges on the doctrine of Zen lineage as passed on through Dharma transmission and the institutional legitimacy and the authority of the Master/roshi is dependent on this model.
This view implies that Dharma transmission is given solely on the basis of the spiritual attainment of the student and further that Dharma transmission is received from one's living teacher, rather than in a dream or in some other fashion.

 Still Point January February 2000
With this type of transmission, there was the distinct possibility of no direct contact between a nominal disciple at a new temple and his new master or even between the disciple and any lineage representative of that master.
It is in contrast to the other form of transmission, the inheriting of the Dharma lineage of the temple where a monk resides, known as garanbo.
Soto monks desiring to uphold the principle of face-to-face transmission from master to disciple were faced with either converting to Rinzai or subjugating their own abilities and desires to contribute to the welfare of others.
