The 4 Distinguishing Marks of Zen:
1. A separate transmission apart from the scriptural teachings [Kyo(u)ge-Butsuden].
2. Not setting up words and letters [Furyu(u)-Monji].
3. A direct pointing to the human mind [Jikishi-Ninshin].
4. Seeing one's self-nature and realizing Buddhahood [Kensho(u)-Jobutsu].
