Ryobo-an Roshi gave dharma transmission to Koun-an Tatsuta Eizan Roshi, Ichimu-an Ohazama Chikudo Roshi, Gotō Zuigan Roshi, and Sokei-an Sasaki Shigetsu Roshi.
Koun-an Roshi founded Ningen Zen, "Zen cultivation of the human spirit".
The Ningen Zen Kyodan. Its mission is "to establish an earthly paradise".
In this, it sees itself as "essentially different from the traditional Zen Buddhists who aimed principally at Dharma-transmission for the sake of Dharma-transmission".
The Ningen Zen Kyodan has sixteen groups and sixteen meditation centers, and twelve Zen masters, who received dharma transmission from Koun-an Roshi. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryomo_Kyokai#Ningen_Zen_Kyodan
