Chan adherent

• Members of the Chan/Seon tradition, as distinguished from those who favor the scriptural study approach 教家. Also written 禪宗; 禪門. This terminology has its origin in China, but in Korea, it refers to a formal distinction made between schools of Buddhism. [resp. Charles Muller; source(s): JEBD]
