A path that branches,
meets and parts.
Schools and lineages
Branches · 1
Many paths. Shared histories.
What this means
Association and branching, in both directions. Traditions overlap, split and re-merge; this is not a single-origin family tree, and being listed under another tradition is not the same as being recognised by it.
Does not imply a clean single-origin family tree · that the parent recognises the branch

Traditions whose own records say they belong to it
1 tradition names Unification Church as its own — an affiliation, so kept apart from the tree.
Attributed founding
Whom the records name as founder
What this means
An attribution, and a contested one in most traditions: it does not mean the tradition began fully formed, nor that later adherents accept the attribution.
Does not imply that the tradition began fully formed · that later adherents accept the attribution

Texts and teachings
What this means
Records whose own statements name this tradition — 1 of them. Computed from those statements, not curated here, and ordered by how widely each is linked across Wikipedia — those at home in the tradition’s collection first, and those with a picture first among the leading few — rather than by significance to the tradition.
Where a date is shown it is when the text was written — the source’s clock, never the time of what it tells.
