	Extract of Iron Eyes, The Life And Teachings Of Obaku Zen Master Tetsugen Doko by Baroni, Helen J
		The Obaku lineage, which became the third major sect of Zen in Japan, was established only later in the century.
		Zen masters at the larger training monasteries and in some cases at smaller local temples held intensive practice periods twice annually Commonly known as the summer and winter retreats, these sessions lasted the three months each, and afforded monks a chance to practice under the direction of different teachers without necessarily altering their original affiliation.
		The Obaku sect emerged as a result of an influx of a small number of Chinese Buddhist masters to Japan and their interactions with their own Japanese disciples and with other members of the Rinzai and Soto communities.
