Chinese Hand Carved Wooden Figural Statue of Bhodidharma. Chinese hand carved figural root sculpture depicting Bhodidharma, or the Buddhist monk Doma.
Size: 10 x 24 x 34 in.
Bodhidharma, also known as Damo in Chinese and Daruma in Japanese, was a Buddhist monk traditionally credited with transmitting Chan (Zen) Buddhism to China during the 5th or 6th century CE. A semi-legendary figure of Indian origin, Bodhidharma is often depicted as a bearded, intense-looking ascetic who journeyed to the Shaolin Monastery, where he is said to have introduced meditation-focused practices and physical training methods that influenced both spiritual and martial disciplines. Rejecting reliance on scripture, he emphasized direct experience and inner awakening, laying the foundation for what would become Zen’s characteristic emphasis on intuitive insight. Over time, Bodhidharma’s image has evolved into a symbol of perseverance and inner strength, celebrated in art, folklore, and martial tradition throughout East Asia.
