95 - Lineage in Buddhism: The Intersection Between the Individual and the Collective Tradition
from The Zen Studies Podcast · host Domyo Burk
In many forms of Buddhism, particularly in Zen, we have the concept of "lineage:" the essential aspects of our collective religious tradition have been passed down through the generations from one real, live person to another, teacher to a student. However, lineage isn't just about preserving a collective tradition, it's a valuable part of our practice – self-attachment and pre-conceived notions get challenged as the individual aligns her/himself with the collective tradition.
