Inka Shōmei (印可証明 ), (Korean: Inga) is a term used in Zen Buddhism to denote a high-level of certification, and literally means "the legitimate seal of clearly furnished proof." In ancient times inka usually came in the form of an actual document, but this practice is no longer commonplace. A qualified Zen master bestows inka only upon his or her students that have demonstrated themselves as leaders and capable of teaching.
