Description :
Daruma is the Japanese name for the founder of Chan (or Zen) Buddhism, Bodhidharma, who received direct wisdom from the historical Buddha Shakyamuni. Most likely of Indian descent, Bodhidharma travelled to China to teach Buddhist truth. In one popular story, after being denied entry to the Shaolin Temple, Bodhidharma mediated for nine years facing a wall. In Yoshitoshi’s version he sits in a brick ruin overgrown with autumn foliage. The building has crumbled around him, while he remains unmoving and immovable.Label Text: Daruma is the Japanese name for the founder of Chan (or Zen) Buddhism, Bodhidharma, who received direct wisdom from the historical Buddha Shakyamuni.
