Bodhidharma Statue, The Founder of Zen Buddhism (“Daruma”)

The Father of Zen

This is not just a statue; it is a tribute to Bodhidharma, the first patriarch of Zen Buddhism. While many know the Japanese “Daruma” doll, this figure represents the original master himself—the monk who famously crossed the Yangtze River on a single reed and meditated facing a wall for nine years.

This statue captures his legendary determination and profound wisdom . It serves as a powerful reminder that with focus and inner strength, you can overcome any obstacle.

This collection is available in two distinct poses, sold individually or as a complete set.

• The “Master on the Cloud” : This larger statue (7.2″ H) depicts Bodhidharma seated on a cloud, symbolizing his transcendence and enlightenment. It embodies the blessing of “rising through the ranks”, bringing upward momentum to your career and life.
• The “Palm Monk”: This statue (4.6″ H) shows the master in a classic meditation pose, representing deep focus and the legendary determination of his “nine years of wall-gazing.”
