What is the so-called "lineage" in Buddhism? What does it mean? How can I get it?

Buddhism's inheritance is mainly the law that has been passed down from Shakyamuni Buddha, from generation to generation like an iron chain. And there can be no break in the middle. It also refers to the teachings written by an accomplished master or the Dharma that has been passed down from generation to generation. Only the pure inheritance has the power of immediate blessing.
