Information
The
traditional
Five
Houses
of
Chan
were,
indeed,
“family”
lineages
rooted
in
the
personal
transmission
of
the
character
of
Chan
awaken-
ing.
Although
only
the
Linji
and
Caodong
lines
would
survive
beyond
the
Song,
it
is
the
utterly
intimate
nature
of
Chan
teaching
that
has
allowed
Chan
Buddhism
to
continue
flourishing
not
only
throughout
the
Song
dynasty
and
in
the
late
Ming
and
Qing
dynasties,
but
also
on
to
the
present
day
in
both
Asia
and
the
West.
The
transmission
of
Chan
sensibilities
takes
place
as
virtuosic
teachers
immerse
themselves
in
exemplary
relationships
with
their
students,
teaching
with
words
but
certainly
not
through
them.
If
the
traditional
accounts
are
to
be
respected,
then
there
is
no
alternative
but
to
admit
that
the
communication
taking
place
among
Chan
mas-
ters
and
their
students
has
never
consisted
primarily
of
an
exchange
of
information
but
of
the
realization
of
an
almost
musical
resonance—a
shared
spirit
of
enlightening
endeavor.
Short
of
entering
into
such
a
relationship,
the
only
means
of
addressing
this
spirit
is
to
attune
one-
self,
as
fully
as
possible,
to
the
traditionally
expressed
narrative
rhythms
of
living
Chan.
