A timeless journey brought to life— the story of Bodhidharma as you’ve never seen it before.
Bodhidharma: Between History and Legend is a visually striking, emotionally resonant retelling of the legendary founder of Zen. Through a sequence of atmospheric charcoal sketches, this book follows Bodhidharma’s life from his fateful meeting with Emperor Wu, to Huike’s desperate vigil in the snow, to the transmission of the robe and bowl, and finally to the master’s mysterious westward walk with a single sandal.
The final chapter bridges ancient and modern practice, showing a contemporary meditator echoing Bodhidharma’s posture — a reminder that the lineage of awakening is alive in every moment of stillness.
This book is perfect for:
• Readers of Zen, Buddhism, and Eastern philosophy
• Martial artists inspired by Bodhidharma’s legacy
• Meditators seeking a contemplative companion
• Anyone who appreciates beautifully crafted, meaningful books
