Black Tone Jade Bodhidharma, 7cm

傳統上的說法,達摩自海路來到震旦後,聞說梁武帝信奉佛法,於是至金陵(今江蘇南京)與其談法。 由於達摩與梁武帝的佛教理念不合,遂「一葦渡江」止於嵩山少林寺,於寺中面壁九年,稱「壁觀婆羅門」。 在石洞留下《易筋經》和《洗髓經》。Bodhidharma was a Buddhist monk who lived during the 5th or 6th century. He is traditionally credited as the transmitter of Chan Buddhism toChina, and regarded as its first Chinese patriarch. According to Chinese legend, he also began the physical training of the monks of Shaolin Monastery that led to the creation of Shaolin Kung Fu. In Japan, he is known as Daruma.
