-Chinese Masters-
The particularities of the ketsumiaku of Master Kosen's lineage.
In China
As far as zen is concerned, the lineage is common up to the sixth Chinese
patriarch (although there still exist in China successors of Master Jinshu,
who himself contested during his time the authenticity of the sixth patriarch).
After the sixth patriarch, two very strong lineages appeared through two great
disciples: Nangaku and Seigen. These transmitted schools have cohabited in
perfect harmony up to Master Rinzai, and then from him the particularities
of each of the schools started to be more radically in opposition.
