CHARLOTTE JOKO BECK ORDINARY MIND CHART

The following lineage chart provides the names and contact information for all those who at one time received transmission from Joko or from one of Joko's dharma heirs. Note that within Ordinary Mind, different people have chosen to designate different types of transmission. Explanations for each type of transmission may vary amongst different people. The following description is only an attempt to give some idea of each.

Full Transmission: Full authority to teach, transmit to others and give Jukai. Given to both ordained and lay people. Appears that everyone transmitted by Joko received Full Transmission whether they were or were not ordained. Denkai: Authorization to teach and give Jukai but not transmit. It can be either preliminary to Denbo or a terminal degree, given to someone who teaches in a context other than having their own zendo and being able to name a successor. Denbo: Full Transmission with authority to transmit to others (as in Full Transmission above.) Shiho: Includes both Denkai and Denbo which are often done at same time.Traditionally, Denkai means transmit the precepts (kai means precepts) and denbo means transmit the Dharma (bo is the same as ho in shiho meaning dharma). It can be given to ordained or lay people. Practice Leader: This is not a transmission and is not listed below. It is a recognition of a senior student as a leader who gives dharma talks, instruction, and takes responsibility for much of the day to day practice activities. S/he usually works closely with the teacher. May be preliminary to Full Transmission, Denkai, Denbo or Shiho.
