Bodhidharma
&
Daruma dolls
Legend says .... The Bodhidharma was a Buddhist priest. He sat and
meditated for nine years. When he finally moved to stand up, his
arms and legs were too stiff to stand upright.
Nothing can stop the teachings of the Buddha, the Dharma thought
to himself. I must move from village to village, sharing with the
people what I have discovered while meditating.
Since the Dharma could not stand up and walk, he rolled from
village to village, spreading his teachings.
Today ... Daruma dolls are used as scarecrows in fields to scare
away birds and evil spirits. Daruma dolls are used as characters in
children's plays.The daruma doll has a face that is painted without
eyes. One eye is painted on the doll when a goal is made. The
second eye is painted when the goal is complete.
Darumas come in many sizes - from lifesize (and larger) to dolls no
larger than a fingernail. They're made of many materials and are the
creations of many talented artists.
