“The Second Patriarch of Chinese Chán is Huike 慧可 (487–593). After studying Taoism in his youth he turned to Buddhism, ordaining under Chán Master Baojing (寶靜禪師). Later he spent eight years in meditation, leading to a vision at about the age of forty that guided him to Bodhidharma… Huike went to Shaolin temple and called upon Bodhidharma at the cave where he was meditating. Receiving no acknowledgment from the master, Huike waited outside for the entire night. It was winter, and by dawn the snow had reached his knees. Finally, Bodhidharma asked, “You have stood long in the snow. What do you seek?” Huike replied, “I request only that the master, in his mercy, open the Gate of Sweet Dew and liberate all beings.” Bodhidharma said, “The supreme, marvelous Way of all Buddhas can be attained only through ages of effort practicing what is difficult to practice, enduring what is difficult to endure. Why should you, with your shallow heart and arrogant mind, ask for the true vehicle and suffer such hardships in vain?” Huike cut off his left arm and presented it to the master as a sign of his detachment and desire to study the Way. With this, Bodhidharma accepted him as a disciple.
“One day he said to Bodhidharma, ‘My mind is not yet at rest. Master, I implore you, please put my mind to rest.’ The master replied, ‘Bring your mind here and I will put it to rest for you.’ Huike said, ‘I have searched for my mind, but am unable to find it.’ ‘There,’ said the master, ‘I have put your mind to rest for you.’ After about five years Huike received dharma transmission from Bodhidharma, then became a wandering teacher.” (Italics added by author) Jingde-era Record of the Transmission of the Lamp (景德傳燈錄 Jingde chuandeng lu - dates vary between 1004-1011) |
Discipline
It is not the glamour or even the fighting skills that makes the Shaolin Monastery and philosophy unique. Instead it is whole heart and mind devotion to an inclusive ideal of unity, and unflagging dedication to discipline of body, mind and spirit. The morning call to prayer rings at 4 o'clock every day. For thousands of years, the ritual has never changed. The sunken floor is the result of years of hard practice by the monks. Only those senior warrior monks could practice here.
|
Protect life
All great philosophies and religions consider life to be sacred. The Shaolin and other Buddhist organizations take this very seriously - more seriously than most.
|
Be real
In meditation, prayer, training, human communication, all facets of life, it is real or not. Some things cannot be faked.
