    Hello!
    Being interested in Bodhidharma and having visited Shaolin and sitting in his alleged cave also and studying as much as I could find on his teaching I was surprised most recently to hear that Prajnatara was actually a woman. I saw the movie many years ago and Prajnatara as a male teacher stayed in my mind. You elaborate a few things on her life – what are your sources? I’d be glad to receive them.

    ps the youtube source you used has a very low picture quality, I found a better one:

    Hope this is of benefit and looking forward to hearing from you 🙂

    I am doing a research on the life of Bodhidharma before he left India for China. Where can I get more details on King Simhavarman, his life and family – are there any books or authentic sources on the subject?

      Hello,

      This pertains to Tozen’s area of expertise. There have been other questions directly pertaining to this particular blog post (which is his) and he has yet to respond whether directly on the board or in emails directed to him. So, when he reads this perhaps he will respond. We can only hope. Or perhaps others who read this has the information you request.

      Thank-you for reading

      Vajragoni

    Jaya Varman, Bodhitara, pernah berkunjung ke Nusantara, untuk menghindari konflik perebutan kekuasaan yg terjadi di Kanchipuram. Dan ada buku yg menyebut bahwa kini, beliau telah memilih lahir kembali di Indonesia.
