BODHIDHARMA The Legend :
"BODHIDHARMA" the father of martial arts Shaolin Kungfu. KUNGFU came from ancinet martial art in the world "KALARIPAYATTU." Kalaripayattu is 2000 years old martial art famous for its self defence. Bodhidharma went to china from india in 5th century A.D. for propogating mahayan buddhism. He is from pallava dynasty from kanchipuram. He is third son of a pallava king.
its so sad that indians had a little information about bodhidharma.
so many stories are there regarding bodhidharma but none of the scripts explain about him.His real name is bodhidhara He is not only a monk with martial art, he had very good knowledge on medicine and also know exactly each and every herb. Prachana Thara who was 27 th patriot in the hierachy of mahayana buddhism Came to india pallava dynasty and observed the three sons and selected bodhidharma as 28th patriot. due to invasions in india, so many scripts are damaged and lost about him.
Bodhidharma landed on Guangzhou or canton(china), he went north side to a chinese emperor.before bodhidharma went to the shaolin temple the chinese emperor built it for a monk INDIAN named BATUVA, in which the knig wanted to translate sanskrit scripts into chinese. so here its shows that chinese mythology had its roots from indian mythology. then bohidhrama landed shaolin temple and he meditated ina temple mount shounsha for nearly 9 years, there so many stories here that bodhidharma actually cutoff his eyelids to be awake. In china he was called Dhammo and in japan he is called as dharumma.
All liked bodhidharma's mahayana buddhism(zen buddhism) what he preached that you seek salvation for yourself and take others along with you. Chinese called Bodhidharma at first look as "the wild eyed barbarian". He teached mahayana buddhism in shaolin monks and also he teached the YOGA and MARTIAL ARTS.he aslo taught Acupuncture which is healing the some parts of nervous system close to ayurveda. He taught martial art for the monks to withstand the attack from the Highway robbers in the forest who didnt believe in buddhism or by animals. SO MANY POSES AND TRICKS IN KALARIPAYATTU CHANGED IN KUNG-FU.Even the pratcisioners there accepted the fact that it is from india. Shaolin temple consists of buildings in which fourth building is given to bodhidharma. In shaolin temple there are fighting monks and meditating monks.
And theres one myth that after the Death of this great monk bodhidharma, he came to india with one sandle where on the way he met one monk. and the another sandle was there itself where he was buried.There aare temples and weapons in china in memory of him. none in india.
Tribute to him from The Spirit of the Grey hat.
