	Coming Down from the Zen Clouds
		First, let us consider the meaning of the term "dharma transmission." According to the widely held view, dharma transmission is the recognition by the teacher that the student has attained the "mind of the Buddha" and that his understanding is equal to that of the teacher.
		From the point of the Zen tradition it is dharma transmission that justifies regarding the teacher as the Buddha, which is what the Ch'an tradition has done since the Tang dynasty.
		This interpretation would imply that dharma transmission is given solely on the basis of the spiritual attainment of the student.

	Face to Face: the Meaning Comes Alive
		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.
		So another way is to see it as transmission of the untransmittable or transmission as identification of teacher and disciple, identification rather than something going from one person to another.
		Transmission, not as something from A to B, but as identification, points directly to the teaching that each of us is already Buddha.

	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.
		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.
		That is, the content of the transmission is not so important as is the performance, the transmission and the re-creation of the social fact of lineage.

	COMING DOWN FROM THE ZEN CLOUDS: A Critique of the Current State of American Zen
		On investigation, the term "dharma transmission" turns out to be a much more flexible and ambiguous term than we in the West suppose.

	The Dharma of Mind Transmission (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Dharma students should harbor no doubts concerning the body, and they should realize that, comprised, as it is, of four elements, there is within it no self or master to be found.
		To the enlightened ones, the Dharma is void-ness and nothingness.
		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.

	Still Point January February 2000
		Dharma transmission is the facet of the master-disciple relationship that preserves the identity and integrity of the master's lineage.
		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.
		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.

	Roshi and his Teachers
		Very briefly, the purpose of the system of Dharma transmission is to ensure that the mind-seal of enlightenment is passed on from teacher to teacher.
		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.
		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.

		Accepting Dharma Transmission was one of the hardest decisions I ever made.

		When I mentioned "transmission of light," she said, "Oh, so you're not going to talk about anything that would be of interest to someone at my stage of training." Obviously, she assumed that the transmission of the light is something that happens only at the end of training.
		The light that is transmitted is precisely the Buddha wisdom we are born with.
		The aspects of the transmission ceremony that reverse the role of teacher and student beautifully punctuate this fluidity of role, this unity of the light of teacher and student.

	KTD--Kagyu Forefathers' Role-- (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		This transmission is known as Kagyu, which means the "lineage of precept" or "lineage of command." It originated when Buddha Shakyamuni assumed the form of the sambhogakaya, which is the Buddha Vajradhara or Dorje Chang, and transmitted the Vajrayana Dharma of tantra.
		The tradition of the Kagyu, therefore, is the transmission of tantra in an unbroken succession, or lineage, of the command or precept of Vajradhara.
		Of the various ways that this transmission has come down to the present day, one is known as the long lineage, which began when it was received from the Buddha Vajradhara by the bodhisattva Lodro Rinchen, or Ratna Mati.
