    Bodhidharma

    Hello,

    I recently commissioned an ink drawing to be made showing none other than the legendary founder of our Buddhist tradition: Bodhidharma

    The artist is my old mate Alan Morgan. You can see a scan of the picture and more of his wonderful work and equally wonderful ramblings (nothing to do with Buddhism btw.) under the following link:

    Better a colourful story than a dull explanation.


    Thank you for the wonderful work Alan!

    Gassho,

    Hans Chudo Mongen

        ...i wonder why Bodhidharma is often shown with that aggressive look, as much as I love his writings (or what is credited to him), these pictures not make him look like a free man to me Nevertheless, great artwork !

          It gives him more humanity than a Daruma doll; perhaps this was one of his better hair days :lol:
          Thanks for sharing Hans!
