Notes of the Disciples
of Bodhidharma

by Bodhidharma
These "notes" are basically the Dunhuang writings
attributed to the semi-legendary man from India, the first
Zen master of China, Bodhidharma. They were
"discovered" by the European "archaeologists" in the
1920's, in the caves near Dunhuang, Gansu Province,
China.  For better or for worse, they have been
determined to be authored by "Bodhidharma".

written in Chinese, maybe 600-700 CE
translated into English, Red Pine(Bill Porter) c. 1987,
used as the sutras in the Osho book:
Bodhidharma: The
Greatest Zen Master.
"If I had to describe anything as "Kohinoor", yes, I would
indicate towards those few notes by the anonymous
disciples of Bodhidharma..."
