Caodong redirect
Caodong (Chinese 曹洞宗) is a Chinese Zen Buddhist sect founded by Dongshan Liangjie and his Dharma-heirs in the 9th century . Some attribute the name "Caodong" as a union of "Dongshan" and "Caoshan" from one of his Dharma-heirs, Caoshan Benji; however, the "Cao" much more likely came from "Caoxi", the "mountain-name" of Huineng , the Sixth Ancestor of Chan as Caoshan was of little importance unlike his contemporary and fellow Dharma-heir Yunju Daoying. The sect emphasised sitting meditation, and later "silent illumination" techniques.
In 1227 Dogen Zenji took Caodong to Japan as the Soto sect, where it became very popular.
