Eureka, Now I know why anti Buddhist commies of China are supporting MR just to get back at Tamils! Mark Levinson - Hi-Fi Devotee ] :))) but its true:)) Probably the greatest Buddhist who ever lived after Buddha :) [Bodhidharma aka Damo aka Daruma - Monk, Mystic, and Purported Kung Fu Master Bodhidharma (c482-c539) was an Indian monk credited with founding Zen Buddhism (in Chinese, Chan Buddhism). In China, Bodhidharma is revered as Damo, the short form of Chinese transliteration of his name, Pu Di Da Mo, and in Japan he is called Daruma, from the Japanese, `Bodaidaruma.` [Bodhidharma was born in the Indian city of Kanchipuram in what is now the state of Tamil Nadu in about 482, the third son of a minor king.] As a young man, Bodhidharma was training to become one of the leaders of his country when he encountered the teachings of the Buddha and decided to forsake worldly things and become a monk, and began to train under the tutelage of the great Buddhist master Prajnatara, allegedly the 27th Buddhist master in a direct line of descent from the Buddha himself. After many years of training, Prajnatara deemed his disciple to be fully trained, so he gave him the name `Bodhidharma,` gave him the `Mind Transmission` (direct mind-to-mind communication of full enlightenment), declared him the 28th master of Buddhism, and commanded him to travel to China, where Buddhism had been waning, to once again show the Chinese the true teachings of the Buddha. http://everything2.com/title/bodhidharma] :)) |
