About the data
Built for transparent correction
This seed combines Terebess lineage material, the Ciolek Zen guide, Wikipedia's attributed Zen lineage charts, the American Zen Teachers Association directory, and the Soto Zen Buddhist Association directory. It was retrieved on 2026-08-23.
- Association membership is not certification or endorsement.
- Traditional lineage claims are labeled and are not equivalent to independently established historical fact.
- Living-person status, affiliations, and roles may be stale.
- Canonical identity resolution merges only unique high-confidence name variants; ambiguous candidates remain for editorial review.
- Long copyrighted biographies are preserved only in archived source snapshots, not republished here.
- Terebess is the canonical relationship source when a machine-extracted Terebess claim conflicts with Ciolek or Wikipedia; every lower-priority claim remains in the conflict ledger.
