Keizan Zenji is credited with not only preserving but reviving the line of Soto Zen ancestors that up until his time were almost forgotten.

There were a total of 52 Ancestors in the Zen Buddhist Tradition of the Denkoroku.

'The Denkoroku: The Record of the Transmission of Light' was originally written only for the eyes of Zen monks.

The practice, understanding and transmission of Zen has been compared to holding a point in stillness by many of the Ancestors.
