Differences and similarities
KatinkaHesselink 2006
Zen is the Japanese version of Chinese Chan Buddhism. Thereare two main lineages of Zen Buddhism in Japan: Rinzai Zen and SotoZen. Both share a disregard for the original Vinaya rules for monks anda focus on sitting meditation (Zazen).
The Rinzai Line is one of the Five Houses of Zen, best thought of as teaching styles that developed within the Zen school, following a great master. It was brought to Japan in the 13th century. The historical development of the Zen School is well documented. A bibliography is appended. Rinzai's 'Record' was written by his disciples. It contains his. The Rinzai Zen Mission is located by the beautiful beach outside Paia on the north shore of Maui. It was established in 1932 by a Rinzai priest from Okinawa, Rev. Nanshin Okamoto. It is the only Rinzai Zen temple from the immigration era in the United States, and it was also a temple for the Okinawan community on Maui. The Korinji Rinzai Zen Community is the circle of students practicing under the guidance of Buddhist teacher and author Meido Moore Roshi. We are a vibrant, friendly community committed to supporting one another on the Zen path. All are welcome to learn with us regardless of faith or background.
Koans and Zazen
Both Rinzai andSoto Zen Buddhists study koans and practice Zazen. The differences arein the relative importance in day-to-day practice. To sayRinzai 'stresses' koans over Zazen would be inaccurate.

It is accurate tosay that Soto Zen considers the practice of Zazen to be the sole meansof realization. But Soto Zen has never discarded the koan. Sototeachers lecture on koans and their students study koans outside thepractice of Zazen. Soto Zen practices Zazen as awakening itself to thealready realized koan. In Rinzai Zen practice, a koan is examined whilesitting in order to deepen insight.
Rinzai School Of Zen Buddhism
Rinzai Zen waspopular in Japan amongst the Samurai, the warrior-class.
Marriage
In Buddhism Monks nor Nuns marry. In fact, they have to staycelibate and practice other rigid rules, many of which sound ratherstrained to the modern ear. (see PanchaSila for instance, which is only part of the rules for themonks and nuns, the Vinaya) In Japanese Buddhism though, in manylineages, the spiritual teachers do get married. Soto Zen and RinzaiZen both have married priests. In the West both have women priests aswell, though that's a Western innovation.
