"𝔹𝕆𝔻ℍ𝕀𝔻ℍ𝔸ℝ𝕄𝔸"
IF WE LOOK,NUMERABLE PERSONALITIES,WHO ONCE MADE WAY TO OVERCOME A MILLION OBSTACLES,HASN'T BE CONSIDERED OR REMEMBERED IN THE PRESENT TIMELINE.MASTER BODHIDHARMA,UNFORTUNATELY,WAS ALSO BEEN IN ONE OF THEM.BUT,NOW,LET'S GET TO KNOW ABOUT THE GREAT MASTER,WHO WAS BEEN A LIVING LEGEND.WELCOME BACK....
AS PER HISTORICAL RECORDS,MASTER MIGHT HAD LIVED AROUND 500-600A.D.AND IT WAS BEEN CONSIDERED THAT MASTER WAS BORN IN KANCHIPURAM BEEN 3RD SON OF A PALLAVA KING.
MASTER managed to acquire an impressive knowledge of martial arts, mysticism and Ayurveda,BEFORE TURNING 22.IN THAT TIME,MASTER'S MAIN HOBBY WAS TO DEVELOP DIFFERENT TYPES OF MEDICINES.IN THE PRESENT,IT WOULD BE A SURPRISE FOR ANYONE THAT A ROYAL PRINCESS WAS BEEN ONE OF THE MAIN DOCTORS FOR CURING EVEN DEADLY DISEASES FLOWN OVER THE KINGDOM.
WHILE CHECKING IN THE INDIAN HISTORY'S,NO TRACE OF BODHI MASTER CAN'T BE FOUND.MEANWHILE,IT WILL BE A SURPRISE TO FIND THE NAME AND A DETAIL ACCOUNT OF AN INDIAN ,ENGRAVED IN THE GOLDEN LEAVES OF CHINESE LEGENDS.THINK THERE WILL BE NO MUCH SURPRISE FOR YOU TO KNOW THE NAME OF THAT MAN.
BUT,IT'S NOT SURE THAT THESE ACCOUNT CONTAINS THE FULL FLEDGED TRUE DETAILS OF MASTER.MOREOVER,HISTORY IS NOT WHAT WE THINK.I'M AFRAID THAT YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT WE MEANT AFTER READING THESE WHOLE DAMN SESSION.
WHEN PRINCE BODHI WAS BEEN STAYING WITH HIS FAMILY WITH SO MUCH HAPPINESS, THE 27TH BUDDHA ONCE VISITED THE PALLAVA DYNASTY.THE WHOLE KINGDOM WELCOMED HIM WITH A GRAND ROYAL RECEPTION.
THE 27TH BUDDHA IS THE ONE WHO ENLIGHTENED BODHI WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF BUDDHISM. In other words, it was thE twenty-seventh Buddha who transformed Bodhi into Bodhidharma.
AFTER ENROLLING HIMSELF INTO BUDDHISM,HE DECIDED TO TRAVEL AND SPREAD BUDDHISM ACROSS THE WORLD,JUST LIKE THE BUDDHA DO.BUT BEING A MEMBER IN THE ROYAL FAMILY,HE WAS BLOCKED BY THE ROYAL MEMBERS AND THE KING DOESN'T APPROVED THAT.
THEN HE ASKED ONE QUESTION TO ALL OF THEM:"CAN ANYONE HERE CAN STOP THE DEATH FROM REACHING ME?". IT RAN A GRAND SILENCE.THEN,WITHOUT THINKING FOR A SECOND TIME,HE DECIDED TO GO ALONG WITH HIS "DHARMA".
THEN,HE STARTED HIS JOURNEY,ALL THE WAY TO CHINA.
AND THERE'S ONE MORE INTERESTING FACT ABOUT MASTER'S JOURNEY TO CHINA,AND IT ALL MATTERS ABOUT THE ROUTE HE WENT.WE KNOW INDIA AND CHINA ROUTE CONSIST MOST OF THE N.INDIA.BUT,FOR YOUR SURPRISE,MASTER BODHIDHARMA WENT CHINA,ALL THE WAY ALONG SEA SHORES OF INDONESIA AND MALAYSIA.AS THE MAIN SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION WAS BEEN THROUGH THE SHIP,BODHI MASTER WENT IN A SHIP.AND THROUGHOUT THE LONG JOURNEY THROUGH INDONESIA AND MALAYSIA,HE DOESN'T FORGET TO SPREAD THE SEEDS OF BUDDHISM TO SPROUT IN THOSE LANDS.
AND FINALLY HE REACHED HIS LANDING DESTINATION.IF WE CHECK OUT THE THEN SITUATION OF CHINA,THE RULING KINGDOM WAS IN THE VERGE OF EXTINCTION.AND ALONG WITH THAT,LOTS OF DISEASES WAS IN A RAMPAGE ALL OVER THE NATION.
IN THESE DESPERATE SITUATION,THE KING WAS WAITING ANXIOUSLY FOR ONE THING-THE ARRIVAL OF A BUDDHA.BUT,ON THE CONTRARY,THE KING DOESN'T LIKED MASTER,AS HE WAS EXPECTING SOMEONE OLD AGED.
ON SEEING MASTER,THE KING ASKED A QUESTION TO HIM:I HAVE DONE A LOT OF SERVICES TO MY SUBJECTS.AS THE REWARD,AM I WORTHY TO YIELD A POSITION IN THE HEAVEN?". THE REPLY WAS SO SHOCKING."NO",REPLIED MASTER.
ALL OF THE SUDDEN,THE ENTIRE DARBAR WENT SILENT.THEY THOUGHT THAT HOW DARE A SILLY MONK CAN DEFY THE WORDS OF HIS HIGHNESS.
THEN MASTER REPLIED CALMLY,"I BELIEVE THAT ALL THE SERVICES YOU'RE TELLING TO HAD BEEN DONE FOR YOUR NATION IS JUST FOR YOUR NEED TO HAVE FAME AND POPULARITY AMONG THE MASSES,NOT FOR THE BETTERMENT AND THE GOODWILL OF YOUR NATION.SO,YOU'RE AND WILL NOT BEEN WORTHY TO YIELD THE HEAVEN UNLESS YOU DO ANYTHING BETTER FOR YOUR SUBJECTS,WITHOUT EXPECTING EVEN A BIT OF PENNY."
EVEN THOSE WORDS IS AROUND 1500 YEARS OLD,IT STILL HAS A UNIVERSAL RELEVANCE.AS WE KNOW,THE WORLD HAS BEEN AND WILL GET CHANGED RAPIDLY.MANY PEOPLE INSIST TO HAVE A PROFIT FROM THERE ACTIONS.AND MANY BELIEVES IT'S SO COMMON IN THESE WORLD AND IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY PROBLEMS AT ALL.BUT THE WORDS OF A MAN,WHO LIVED 1500 YEARS BEFORE,WILL GET REFLECTED TILL THE END OF THESE ERA.
ANYWAY,THOSE MEANINGFUL WORDS FLOWN OUT OF MASTER HAD MADE THE KING TO THINK ABOUT HIS PAS ACTIONS AND TO FIND THE TRUTH.THENAFTER,MASTER BODHI STAYED A LOT OF TIME IN CHINA AND WITH THE HELP OF HIS KNOWLEDGE IN AYURVEDA,HE WAS BEEN ABLE TO PREPARE THE MEDICINES FOR MANY DEADLY DISEASES.AS PER THE CHINESE HISTORIES,MASTER HAD PREPARED MEDICINAL CURE FOR MANY PRESENT DAY DISEASES IN INDIA ITSELF.
THE PEOPLE OF CHINA LOOKED MASTER AS A BETTER HALF OF GOD.LATER,HE SPREAD THE SEEDLINGS OF BUDDHISM THROUGHOUT CHINA AND WAS ABLE TO GATHER A HUGE DISCIPLE MASS.
NOW YOU MIGHT BE FEELING A LITTLE BORING.SO LET'S END FOR A WHILE.LET'S GET TO KNOW MORE ABOUT MASTER BODHIDHARMA IN THE NEXT SESSION...HOPE YOU LIKE IT....THANK YOU AND HAVE A NICE DAY.....
