Bodhidharma facing the wall and crossing the river with a reed have become legends, is this pers

Master Bodhidharma is a real enlightened monk, a descendant of Buddhism, who created a door of Chinese Zen Buddhism and made great contributions to the construction of Chinese Buddhism and traditional culture! "Convey the heart with the heart, do not set up words" of the superior Buddhist mind, the road to simplicity. It is worthy of being the patriarch of the Buddhist generation, and he admires it.

As for the legend of the light gong of crossing the river with one leaf, it shows that only the monks who have attained the Tao have it, and the magical powers of Buddhism such as the special functions of the five eyes and six links are indeed true. I am an ordinary man, and I haven't cultivated to any realm, so it's hard to understand.

Bodhidharma Patriarch "was born noble, because he was the third son of the king of Nantianzhu Guoxiangzhi. Moreover, he had a wisdom root since he was a child, and he had read Buddhist scriptures since he was a child, and then he studied Buddhism with the 27th patriarch Prajna Buddha and received the true transmission. According to legend, one day, Bodhidharma begged the teacher:

After I receive the Dharma, where should I preach it? The Venerable Prajnata said to Bodhidharma, "Sixty-seven years after my death, you can go to Aurora (China) to preach Zen teaching."

Moreover, the Venerable Prajna also said to Bodhidharma: "After you arrive in Aurora, don't live in the south, where the monarch loves merit and cannot comprehend the Buddha's teachings. ”

According to legend, the master of the river crossed the river without a boat, picked off the reed leaves and threw them on the river to step on the reeds, and achieved light work, the truth and falsehood were not examined, and the beautiful legend was shed, but the Shaolin light power was real and undoubted. After Bodhidharma passed away, the tomb was opened, there was only one mango shoe, some people saw Bodhidharma laughing on the street in Xinjiang, ready to preach the scriptures, it is also a legend, "The Biography of the High Monk" has a record.

Bodhidharma is indeed a person. for the princes of ancient India. Later, he became a monk and practiced.

He came to China during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Founding Zen Buddhism. Meditation facing the wall is a practice of Zen Buddhism.

A reed crosses the river"."A reed"Refers to a small boat, which is present in Tang poems"A reed voyage". A boat that can be rowed away with a single reed. So Bodhidharma crossed the river in a small boat, nothing strange!

Regardless of whether "Bodhidharma faces the wall" and "a reed crossing the river" are legends or myths, "Bodhidharma" is the incarnation of the Buddha in people's minds, and therefore people talk about him with relish.

I believe it to be true. The fruit position he has attained should belong to the arhat position. Not mortal at all.

"Gaze on the wall" is "facing the wall", which is intended to let people not look at the four phases, that is, the self phase, the human phase, the sentient beings, and the longevity phase, and encounter all realms, without greed and love, and without troubles and hatred. This has nothing to do with the fact that people meditate on the walls above the form.

Speaking of "Bodhidharma", he is the ancestor of Zen Buddhism in China, and is respected as "the first generation patriarch of Dongtu" and "Bodhidharma patriarch", so China's Zen Buddhism is also called "Bodhidharma Sect", and he is also the "twenty-eighth generation patriarch" of Indian Zen Buddhism.

Master Bodhidharma left too many mysteries, but the Zen Buddhism he founded still exists and spreads all over the world.

It's true, I saw it with my own eyes
