Bodhidharma: The Indian Prince Who Traveled to China and Changed the World Forever

In the year 475 AD, a ship docked at the southern coast of China. On board was no general, no diplomat, no merchant. There were no soldiers, no weapons, no gold. There was only one man. A dark-skinned Indian prince with piercing eyes and bare feet. He carried nothing but a staff and the fire of an idea so powerful that it would reshape the soul of the largest civilization on Earth. Within two centuries of his arrival, his teachings would be followed by two million monks. Temples built in his name would number thirty thousand. The most powerful emperors of China would kneel before his philosophy. And from his silent meditation in a mountain cave, two of the most iconic traditions in human history would be born — Zen Buddhism and Shaolin Kung Fu. His name was Bodhidharma. And this is the story of how an Indian prince conquered China — without an army..... *Key Sources Referenced:* 1. The Zen Teaching of Bodhidharma* (North Point Press, 1987) 2.
