    • NPprbuddhistBUDDH: traditionally regarded as the founder of Chinese Chán/Zen Buddhism; skr. Bodhidharma (A number of works are attributed to him. However, there is little known about the life and actual teachings of this monk. For early biographic material see LUOYANG QIELAN JI 洛陽伽籃記, T.51/2092:1000b (tr. in MCRAE 1986: 17 and WANG 1984: 20-21) and XUGAOSENGZHUAN, T.50/2060: 551b-c (tr. in McRae 1986: 17-18). The only work which with some certainty can be attributed to him is the short ERRU SIZING LUN 二入四行論 ('Treatise on Two Entrances and Four Practices'); see YANAGIDA 1969 for an excellent annotated translation into Japanese). In addition there were a number of other works which traditionally had been attributed to Bodhidharma but which are of a later date, e.g. Dámó dàshī wùxìng lùn 達摩大師悟性論 [Treatise on the Nature of Enlightenment by Great Master Bodhidharma], Ānxīn fǎmén 安心法門 [The Dharma Gate of Pacifying the Mind]; Dámó chánshī lùn 達摩禪師論 [Treatise of Chán Master Bodhidharma]; Dámó dàshī wùxìng lùn 達摩大師悟性論 [Bodhidharma's Treatise on the Nature of Enlightenment]; Dámó dà-hī xuèmò lùn 達摩大師血脈論 [Treatise on the Blood Lineage of Bodhidharma]; Juè-guān lùn 絕觀論 [Treatise on the Transcendence of Cognition]. All these works are retrospectively attributed to Bodhidharma in order to firmly establish him as the First Chinese Patriarch. Bodhidharma was established as 'First Chinese Patriarch' in early Chán transmission texts like Fǎrú's 法如 epitaph (ed. in YANAGIDA 1967: 487-489; see also MCRAE 1986: 43-44, 85-86), the CFBJ and the LQSZJ. On Bodhidharma;s role in early Chán Buddhism see also Dumoulin 1951; for critical studies see FAURE 1986B; FAURE 1993: 130-135.The biographic entry on Bodhidharma in ZTJ is based on BLZ, fasc. 7 and 8 (fasc. 7, which must have included the first part of his biography, is not extant any longer).

      The name Ca2oxi1 originally referred to a river situated in the southeast of today's Qu3jia1ng 曲江 district, Guangdong province. In 502 the Indian monk Zhi4ya4o 智藥 constructed a monastery at the mouth of the river and called it Ba3oli2n 寶林 monastery. Around the year 677 the monk Hui4ne2ng and retrospective 'Sixth Patriarch' of the Cha2n School settled at this monastery. The place of his teaching activities was usually referred to as Mt. Ca2oxi1 曹溪 or Mt. Do4ng 洞. As in the case of many other monks, the name of the mountain/monastery of his main teaching activities became one of the names referring to the person himself.
