''Bodhidharma, the first Patriarch of Zen Buddhism in China was virtually unknown, to all but a few, disciples during his lifetime. He is the patriarch of millions of Zen Buddhists and students of Kung-fu. He is the subject of many legends as well. Along with Zen and Kung-fu, Bodhidharma reportedly also brought tea to China. To keep away from falling asleep while meditating, he cut off his eyelids, and while they fell tea bushes grew.''
(''THE ZEN TEACHINGS OF BODHIDHARMA'' translated by Red Pine, North Point Press 1989)
