EDITORS COMMENTS

In this historical image, we witness a remarkable moment in Chinese legend as the revered patriarch Bodhidharma, also known as Ta-Mo or Po-Ti, crosses the mighty Yangtse River. The scene unfolds with the serene figure of Bodhidharma, who is believed to be the founder of the Chan (Zen) Buddhism in China, standing steadfastly on a single reed, which miraculously ferries him across the river. The Yangtse River, one of the longest in Asia, has always been a formidable natural barrier, yet the reed, in an act of obedience or perhaps a supernatural intervention, carries the weight of the great Bodhidharma effortlessly. The image captures the essence of the deep reverence and faith that the Chinese people held towards their spiritual leaders, as well as their belief in the paranormal and the miraculous. Bodhidharma, an Indian prince turned monk, is said to have traveled to China in the 5th or 6th century AD to spread the teachings of Buddha. His arrival marked a significant turning point in Chinese Buddhism, as his unique approach emphasized meditation and personal experience over scriptural learning. The legend of Bodhidharma crossing the Yangtse River on a reed has been passed down through generations, immortalizing his journey and inspiring awe and wonder. This evocative photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Chinese history, culture, and spirituality, transporting us back in time to an era of faith, miracles, and the indomitable human spirit.
