  1. Each school began with a teacher who adapted what they learned. That’s why we have so many schools. In #Japan alone:
    #Eisai studied #Chan in China, came back & founded #Japanese #RinzaiZen.
    #Dōgen also went to China, studied Caodong (#Sōtō) & brought it back, reshaping it for #Japan.
    #Shinran studied #Tendai, left it, & founded #JōdoShinshū.
    #Nichiren followed the #LotusSūtra above all, creating his own movement. (4/10)
