Esoteric Martial Arts of Zen
Bodhidharma is recorded as having come into China during the time of Southern and Northern Dynasties to teach a "special transmission outside scriptures" which "did not stand upon words". The text is known from the Dunhuang-manuscripts. One of Huike's students, Sengcan , to whom is ascribed the Xinxin Ming , is regarded as the third patriarch. The link between Huike and Sengcan, and the fourth patriarch Daoxin "is far from clear and remains tenuous". By this time the group had grown into a matured congregation which became significant enough to be reckoned with by the ruling forces.
This gave his school the support and the legitimation of the imperial court.

This growing influence, and the need to be supported by patrons, is reflected in the campaign of Shenhui — for imperial patronage. After being chosen by Hongren , the fifth patriarch, Huineng had to flee by night to Nanhua Temple in the south to avoid the wrath of Hongren's jealous senior disciples. Shenhui's story was so influential that all surviving schools regard Huineng as their ancestor.
The An Lushan Rebellion — led to a loss of control by the Tang-dynasty, and changed the Chan scene again. Metropolitan Chan began to lose its status, while "other schools were arising in out-lying areas controlled by warlords. These are the forerunners of the Chan we know today. This school became the archetypal expression of Zen, with its emphasis on the personal expression of insight, and its rejection of positive statements of this insight. During — Emperor Wuzong persecuted the Buddhist schools in China. These were not originally regarded as "schools" or "sects", but historically they have come to be understood that way.

Support for Buddhism was limited to a few areas. The Hua-yen and T'ient-tai schools suffered from the changing circumstances, since they had depended on imperial support. The collapse of T'ang society also deprived the aristocratic classes of wealth and influence, which meant a further drawback for Buddhism.
During the 12th century, a clear difference between the Linji and the Caodong schools emerged. The two schools were competing for support of the literati, who became more powerful when the Song-government started to limit their influence on society. Hongzhi Zhengjue — of the Caodong-school emphasized silent illumination or shikantaza as a means for solitary practice, which could be undertaken by lay-followers. Dahui Zonggao — introduced k'an-hua practice , "observing the word-head", as a means of solitary practice.
During the Song, both schools were exported to Japan where they eventually became two clearly distinguished schools or "sects". This was different from China, where the Buddhist schools tended to coalesce into a syncretic Chinese Buddhist school. The Qing Dynasty was the last imperial dynasty of China. The book placed self-proclaimed Chan monks without proper Dharma transmission in the category of "lineage unknown" sifa weixiang , thereby excluding several prominent Caodong-monks.
According to traditional accounts of Vietnam, in an Indian monk named Vinitaruci Vietnamese: Besides these traditional organizations, there are modern Zen organisations which have especially attracted Western lay followers, namely the Sanbo Kyodan and the FAS Society. Although it is difficult to trace the precise moment when the West first became aware of Zen as a distinct form of Buddhism, the visit of Soyen Shaku , a Japanese Zen monk, to Chicago during the World Parliament of Religions in is often pointed to as an event that enhanced the profile of Zen in the Western world.
It was during the late s and the early s that the number of Westerners other than the descendants of Asian immigrants who were pursuing a serious interest in Zen began to reach a significant level.

It is characterized by the practice of meditation in the lotus position Jpn. Zen master Tokusan, for example, knew the Diamond Sutra well and, before meeting with his own Zen master, lectured upon it extensively; the founder of the Zen sect, Bodhidharma, the very one who preached selfrealization outside the scriptures, nevertheless advocated the Lankavatara Sutra ; Zen master Hogen knew the Avatamsaka Sutra well, and koan twenty-six in the Mumonkan , in which Hogen is involved, comes out of the teaching of that sutra.
Other koans, too, make reference directly or indirectly to the sutras. On the contrary, one of the striking features of their records is that they are filled with scriptural quotations and allusions, even though the full extent of their usage of canonical sources is not immediately obvious and its discernment requires familiarity with Buddhist literature.
