[edit] What about non-Zen traditions?

Is the term "Dharma transmission" specific to Zen? What about Tibetan Buddhism? --Knverma 21:36, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Inka?

Inka is not the same as Dharma transmission for most schools outside of the Rinzai. In the Kwan Um School, inka denotes a Ji Do Poep Sa Nim. In Soto Zen, there is the shiho ceremony. For the Sanbo Kyodan and White Plum Asanga—inka is given after transmission has taken place, usually much later. I will work on a solution to this, because as it stands this article can be misleading.(Mind meal (talk) 11:32, 24 March 2008 (UTC))
