I am impressed OP, but your Dharmic religions are severely lacking.

Zen Buddhism consists of Chan Buddhism(Chinese) and Zen(Japanese).
Within Chan there is Northern and Southern Chan. Northern Chan then developed into Zen.
Within in Zen there are also different schools like Tendai, Nichiren, and Shingon.
The differences between this schools has mainly to do with methods, practices, goals, and views.

Tibetan (Vajrayana)(Tantrayana) Buddhism exists out of more then 10 different schools or sects, with different views, philosophies and major differences.

To Hinduism should be added the main Vedanta school and its 4 offsprings:
Advaita Vedanta
Visishtadvaita Vedanta
Dvaita Vedanta
Achintya Bheda Abheda


To Jainism you should add the following 2 main sects:
Digambara
Svetambara

Offspring of Digambara:
Taranapantha

Offpsrings of Svetambara:
Sthanakvasi
Murtipujaka

Offspring of Sthanakvasi:
Terapanthi

The Murtipujaka has 6 monastic orders (Sanghas):
Kharatara Gaccha
Ancala Gaccha
Tristutik Gaccha
Tapa Gaccha
Vimala Gaccha
Parsvacandra Gaccha

I feel like all of us should just create one giant chart with all of these, and see how far we can go

Thanks for these they are all very interesting. I also find it fascinating that these traditions stay alive throughout numerous generations.

I found this really interesting. I identify somewhere between zen buddhist, taoist, and discordian, so I'm all over the map.

I was under the impression that zen was and is buddhism steeped in taoism. At least hat's what Alan Watts gets across in his book, 'The Way of Zen'. I'm not sure if that could be incorporated into this chart without ruining it, though!

Hare Krishna should come off of Vaishnava, or the Acintya Bheda Abheda branch, if you incorporate that change. If you wish, you could do a two way split between ISKCON and Gaudiya Math, and then ISKCON could have a Ritvik offshoot, but all that is recent and fluid and probably too much detail. Anyway, here's a pic of the four Vaishnava sampradya's (origin and prime guru). Gaudiya Vaishnavas (those that chant Hare Krishna and follow Lord Chaitanya) are an offshoot of Madhva Acharya.

Also shouldn't Sikh have at least a dotted line to Muslim or Abrahamic? I thought there was influence there.
