Bhagini "(Sister)" Nivedita (]    ; born Margaret Elizabeth Noble; 28 October 1867 – 13 October 1911) was a Scots-Irish social worker, author, teacher and a disciple of Swami Vivekananda.
 She spent her childhood and early days of her youth in Ireland.
 From her father, and her college professor, she learned many valuable lessons like – service to mankind is the true service to God.
 She worked as school teacher and later also opened a school.
 She was committed to marry a Welsh youth who died soon after their engagement.
 She carried on her life.
Koun Ejō (孤雲懐奘 ) (1198-1280) was the second patriarch of the Japanese Sōtō school of Zen Buddhism who lived during the Kamakura period.
 He was initially a disciple of the short-lived Darumashū sect of Japanese Zen founded by Nōnin, but later studied and received dharma transmission under the Sōtō schools founder Dōgen.
 Today Ejō is considered Dōgen's spiritual successor by all existing branches of the Sōtō school.
 He is remembered today primarily as the author of the "Shōbōgenzō Zuimonki", a collection of informal talks by Dōgen which Ejō recorded throughout his discipleship.
 He is also featured prominently in the "Denkōroku", the first major piece of scripture produced in the Sōtō school after Dōgen, with his transmission story serving as the final koan.
 After Dōgen's death, Ejō struggled to maintain leadership of the new Eihei-ji monastery, due in part to his lack of training in China that prevented him from completing the temple as a Chinese-style meditation hall, as well as unfamiliarity with Chinese-style monastic practices.
 He gave dharma transmission to Jakuen, Gikai, Gien and Giin, all of whom were originally students of Dōgen, but his failure to designate a clear heir himself led to a power struggle known as the "sandai sōron" that temporarily split the community.
Nányuè Huáiràng (南嶽懐譲, Japanese: Nangaku Ejõ) (677–744) was the foremost student of Dajian Huineng, the 6th Patriarch of Ch'an (Zen) and teacher of one of his Dharma heirs, Mazu Daoyi.
 The ancestor of two of the Five Houses of Ch'an, Huairang studied with a Vinaya master and became ordained.
 Dissatisfied with his own progress, Huairang found Dajian Huineng in Shaozhou and became his disciple.
 One can read of their first meeting in the "Wudeng Huiyuan".
 Huairang gave Dharma transmission to six individuals, the most prominent being Mazu Daoyi.
Eijun Linda Cutts (born 1947) is a Sōtō Zen priest practicing in the lineage of Shunryu Suzuki, a Senior Dharma Teacher at the San Francisco Zen Center.
 Cutts is a Dharma heir of Tenshin Reb Anderson, having received Dharma transmission from him in 1996.
 She served as co-abbess of the San Francisco Zen Center from 2000 to 2007, and had first begun practice at the San Francisco Zen Center in 1971; later, she was ordained a priest by Zentatsu Richard Baker in 1975.
 Currently living at Green Gulch Farm Zen Center, as abbess she had been aware of the significance in being a woman in a leadership position in religion that has historically been a patriarchy.
 In this vein, within her first year as abbess she instituted the ceremony in which female ancestors could be honored.
 She became Central Abbess of San Francisco Zen Center in 2014.

 In 1650 he met Tao-che—the Abbot of Sofuku-ji—in Nagasaki, Japan and subsequently joined his temple.
 Later he joined the assembly at Mampuku-ji in 1663, following the death of Tao-che.
 There he trained under his master's teacher Yin-Yuan and his disciple, Mu-an.
 He was ordained an Obaku monk in 1665 at the temple, receiving inka from Mu-an—Mu-an's second Dharma transmission.

 The text was likely further edited by other disciples after Ejō's death.
Religion and Dharma (1915) is a book written by Sister Nivedita.
 In this book Nivedita has discussed on the common principles of individual and social growth according to the law of "Dharma".
Hinduism – predominant and indigenous religious tradition of the Indian Subcontinent.
 Its followers are called Hindus, who refer to it as "Sanātana Dharma " (a Sanskrit phrase meaning "the eternal law that sustains/upholds/surely preserves"), amongst many other expressions.
 Hinduism has no single founder, and is formed of diverse traditions, including a wide spectrum of laws and prescriptions of "daily morality" based on the notion of karma, dharma, and societal norms.
 Among its direct roots is the historical Vedic religion of Iron Age India and, as such, Hinduism is often called the "oldest living religion" or the "oldest living major religion" in the world.

Question: The author of  "Religion and Dharma" was a disciple of who?
Answer: Swami Vivekananda
