ABSTRACT
The origin of warrior Zen in Kamakura, and in the whole of the eastern part of Japan, goes back to the training of warrior pupils by Eisai (Senko¯ Kokushi). But it was the training of warriors and priests by two great Chinese masters, Daikaku and Bukko¯, which became the Zen style of the Kamakura temples. There were three streams in Kamakura Zen:
scriptural Zen; on-the-instant (shikin) Zen; Zen adapted to the pupil (ki-en Zen).
