Corrections might be needed. ?char? - appropriate Japanese Kanji character for the Zen name awaits identification. &%code; - appropriate HTML numeric code of the character awaits identification. ∞- a paper source has stated an appropriate Japanese Kanji. However, its HTML numeric code awaits identification. [src ?] - the source of information still to be listed. [tmc] - information as provisionally determined by T.M. Ciolek. Corrections might be needed. Treat the "tmc" information as a tentative hypothesis aka - also known as (?) or ? - uncertain reading. n/a - not applicable. Schematic progress in Zen training: (a) 'Zen student' - an aspirant, on his/her completion of the 'Jukai', the Zen name-receiving ceremony (not a badge nor rank of attainment)[005]; (b) 'Dharma heir' - a seasoned Zen student, on his/her completion of the 'Denkai' + 'Shihō' or 'Denkai' + 'Denbō' ceremony. "The title for a Dharma heir is Sensei" [005]; (c) 'Dharma successor' - a Dharma heir, on his/her completion of the 'Inka Shōmei ceremony [005]. Names marked with asterisks (*), the "cloud" names are the teaching names used within the Sanbo Kyodan and Sanbo Zen lineages. Double slashes "//" are used to separate multiple past and contemporary bearers of the same Buddhist name.
