  • Bodhidharma



    Bodhidharma (d. 536A.D.) was from the Brahman caste of South India and honored as the 28th Patriarch of Buddhism. At the temple, Bodhidharma had meditated in a small cave of the Wuru Peak for nine years and introduced Chan tradition into Shaolin Temple. He was revered as the first Patriarch of Chinese Chan Buddhism.



    Huike (487-593, secular surname: Yi) was also known as Sengke and Shengguang, born in Hulao, Luoyang City(northeast of modern Xingyang City, Henan Province). He studied with Bodhidharma and succeeded Bodhidharma to become the Second Patriarch of Chan Buddhism. On the southeastern mountain nearby Shaolin Temple are the Second Patriarch Temple and Arm-heeling Terrace.



    Faru (638-689, secular name: Wang), was born in the Shangdang area (modern Changzhi City, Shanxi Province). He studied with the Fifth Patriarch Hongren for sixteen years and acquired a thorough understanding of Chan Buddhism. Later, Faru lived and preached Dharma teaching in Shaolin Temple, and contributed a lot to the development of Shaolin Temple as the Chan origin. He died at age 52 in 689 at Shaolin Temple. Afterwards, disciples of the temple had built a pagoda for Fau.

    Art of meditation - Shaolin Monks way - part 2

    "Gathering the Light" from the Taois...Image via Wikipedia

    Meditation part 2
    When posing in "double knot seating position", eyes viewing the tip of one's nose, one does not look around.

    With the “eyes cast down, nose pointing to the mouth, and the mouth viewing one's heart”, one can control body and mind.

    The waist must be straight, it should be a positive position, therefore one cannot bend down, neither Should the body be turned crooked towards the left, nor slanting towards the right.

    The vision is Comparable to a bell, well stabilized, motionless, without swinging, not like a clock pendulum and shaking and swinging towards west and east.

    In double crosslegged seating position the posture only then conforms with meditation practices.
    One begins the studies of imperial sacrifices - which the human mind is not familiar with.

    Whilst one's legs will hurt in such position, with the waist sore; achieving the inner peace makes the physical discomfort unimportant.

    One clenches his teeth in order to endure patiently for a while, as our nature never experienced this kind of phenomenon; “being seated for a long time in this manner is called the imperial sacrifice”.

    Only after one can achieve the blissful peace naturally induced by meditation.
