Legend has it that more than a thousand years ago an Indian Buddhist monk named Bodhidharma arrived in China. His approach to teaching was unlike that of any of the Buddhist missionaries who had come to China before him. He confounded the emperor with cryptic dialogues, traveled the country, lived in a cave in the mountains, and eventually paved the way for a unique and illuminating approach to Buddhist teachings that would later spread across the whole of East Asia in the form of Chan—later to be known as Seon in Korean, Thien in Vietnamese, and Zen in Japanese.

Wir leben in unruhigen Zeiten, in denen es sich oft anfühlt, als ob uns der Boden unter den Füßen weggezogen wird. Das, worauf wir uns immer verlassen haben, ist plötzlich verschwunden oder verändert sich.
