Bodhidharma
Not on view
Bodhidharma was the legendary sixth-century Indian patriarch who brought Chan, also known as Zen (after the Japanese transliteration), Buddhism to China. It was said that Bodhidharma magically crossed the great Yangzi River on just a reed. This sculpture successfully catches the confidence and calm of the legendary figure.
