From it's beginnings, [[Sōtō|Soto Zen]] has laid a strong emphasis on the right lineage and dharma transmission.{{sfn|Dumoulin|2005-B}} In time, dharma transmission became synonymous with the transmission of temple ownership.{{sfn|Tetsuo|2003}} This was changed by Manzan Dokahu (
{{quote|[P]ropagated the view that Dharma transmission was dependent on personal initiation between a Master and disciple rather than on the disciple's enlightenment. He maintained this view in the face of strong opposition, citing as authority the towering figure of Japanese Zen, Dogen [...] This became and continues to this day to be the official Soto Zen view. {{sfn|Lachs|1999}}}}

{{quote|Dharma transmission can happen once, and only once, or never at all. Multiple dharma transmission is nonsense. If you receive dharma transmission from one teacher, from then on that is your one and only teacher, your real teacher (jap. hon-shi). The multiple lineage holders that you hear of in the West are bullshit. Therefore it is important that both sides, but especially the student, make sure that this is the right time for them to make this important step.<ref name =Antaiji2 group=web />}}
If a students does not have the feeling he wants to be tied to this teacher for the rest of his life, he may refuse to take dharma transmission from this particular teacher.<ref name=Antaiji2 group=web /> Since the time of Manzan Dokahu (

Besides the official ranking, several honorific titles are being used:
* ''Oshō'' ("virtuous monk") is being used for an educated teacher above ''zendōshoku'' rank.{{refn|group=lower-alpha|"which most persons acquire by having spent a time in the monastery"{{sfn|Borup|2008|p=180}}}}
* Above Jūjishoku rank the term ''daizenji'' ("great master") is attached to this title.{{sfn|Borup|2008|p=58}}
* ''Rōshi'' is used for a teacher of dai kyōshi grade, but also for older teachers. In the west the title ''rōshi'' has acquired the menaing of "enlightened Zen master".{{sfn|Borup|2008|p=58}}
Line 140:
There are four kinds of teachers in the Kwan Um tradition, all having attained a varying degree of mastery and understanding.
# A Dharma teacher is an individual that has taken the [[Five precepts]] and [[Ten Precepts (Buddhism)|Ten precepts]], completed a minimum of four years of training and a minimum of eight weekend retreats, understood basic Zen teaching and has been confirmed by a [[Soen Sa Nim]] (Zen master) to receive the title. These individuals can give a Dharma talk but may not respond to audience questions.
# A senior Dharma teacher is a Dharma teacher who, after a minimum of five years, has been confirmed by a Soen Sa Nim and has taken the Sixteen precepts. These individuals are given greater responsibility than a Dharma teacher, are able to respond to questions during talks, and give consulting interviews.
# A Ji Do Poep Sa Nim (JDPSN) (Dharma master) is an authorized individual that has completed [[kong-an]] training (having received [[inka]]), and is capable of leading a retreat. The nominee must demonstrate an aptitude for the task of teaching, showing the breadth of their understanding in their daily conduct, and undergo a period of teacher training.
# A Soen Sa Nim (Zen master) is a JDPSN that has received full [[Dharma transmission]] master to master.{{sfn|Ford|2006|p=105}}
