Bodhidharma


Bodhidharma or Da Mo (Buddhist monk credited with introducing Zen Buddhism to China, fl. A.D. 526/527). Displeased with his lack of progress in Southern China, Bodhidharma is said to have spent the last nine years of his life seated and silent, his gaze fixed upon a wall inside a cave near the Shaolin Monastery.
