	About Daruma (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Daruma is the Japanese name given to Bodhidharma, the famous, if semi-mythical, Buddhist monk and founder of Zen.
		According to legend, Bodhidharma was born to a high caste Indian family sometime in the 5th century AD, although he abandoned the life of his caste for the discipline of a wandering Buddhist monk.
		With that, Daruma left the emperor and moved on to northern China, crossing the Yangtze River on a single reed, or so it is said.

	Painting: Daruma (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The foremost symbol of Zen is its first patriarch, Daruma (Sanskrit: Bodhidharma), the legendary meditation master who traveled from India to China in the sixth century.
		Daruma’s teaching is often summarized as "Enlightenment is not found in books or in the performance of empty rites." In Zenga (Japanese: Zen-picture), the artist is not painting Daruma as a historical figure for veneration but as a symbol of penetrating insight, ceaseless diligence, and the rejection of all externals.
		A Daruma painting is therefore a spiritual self-portrait based on the individual experience of each Zen master.
