Bodhidharma - "Outline of Practice" - First Zen Patriarch - Zen Buddhism

A reading of Bodhidharma's formative teaching "Outline of
Practice" which describes the four all-inclusive habits that lead
to enlightenment. Translated by Red Pine.  Bodhidharma is
considered the founder of Zen Buddhism in China and regarded as
its first Chinese patriarch. He brought the Buddha's teachings to
China from India in 520 AD. While much of his biography may be
the stuff of legend and his historicity is still in question,
numerous early records speak of him (or someone by the name of
Bodhidharma) as a wise and compassionate monk. Whether or not he
was ever a living person, the legend of Bodhidharma has made him
as real in the Zen tradition as anyone else.
