| | History of Buddha |
 | | Date: Sunday, October 28, 2001 12:45 AM Dharma Daishi (Bodhidharma in Sanskrit and Daruma Daishi in Japanese) was an Enlightened Hindu from India who is credited with re-teaching and reviving Hindu philosophy in China, originally spread to China by another Indian Hindu priest, Siddhartha, or Buddha, and then founding the martial arts. |
 | | Bodhidharma, or Dharma Daishi, began his life in Southern India in the Sardilli family in 482 A.D. In the midst of his education and training to continue in his fathers footsteps as king, Bodhidharma encountered the Buddhas original teachings. |
 | | Dharma Daishi rapidly progressed in his Hindu studies, and in time, Prajnatara sent Dharma Daishi to China, in order to better teach the indigenous Chinese peoples the lessons and rigorous discipline required for perfect Hindu medititative states. |
