		The Rinzai school is known for its emphasis on sudden enlightenment and the use of methods such as the koan to achieve this end.
		After having faced the opposition of traditional schools of Buddhism in Kyoto, Eisai personally introduced Rinzai Zen to the samurai warrior caste of the Shogun court in Kamakura around 1199.
		However, Obaku was brought to Japan several centuries later, in the 17th century, and shows significant influences from the Pure Land school, which are largely absent in Rinzai.

	BUDDHISM TERMS Asia Buddhism Buddha Theravada Mahayana Zen Nirvana (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In Buddhism, the ancient concept of a "constituent factor" (Sanskrit dharma), perhaps originally conceived of as a constituent factor of Buddhist doctrine, came to fulfill this role of an ontological category, in the sense of a constituent factor of mind as well as matter.
		The philosophical schools of Buddhism, amongst which the so-called Sarvastivada school is the most important historically in this context, soon came to furnish the teaching that bodily or mental factors are not the self with the additional connotation "because no self exists as a permanent substrate of mental states".
		Buddhism is fairly unique as a traditional non-theistic religion, one whose tenets are not especially concerned with the existence or nonexistence of God.
