Tradition also has it that he was the originator of the martial arts of the Shaolin monks. Huike 慧可, a literatus of no mean accomplishment as well as a Buddhist monk, came to him and cut off his arm to show his ardor for the Dharma, and received transmission, becoming the 29th patriarch and 2nd in the Chinese lineage. First mention of Bodhidharma in the extant historical record is found in the Luoyang qielan ji 洛陽伽藍記, (Record of the Buddhist Temples of Luoyang), written around 547; in this text, Bodhidharma appears as a pious and well-traveled foreign pilgrim whose astonishment at the Buddhist architecture of Luoyang is therefore even greater testament to the brilliance of the city than any mere Chinese testament. If any of the texts that we now have come directly from Bodhidharmaʼs hand or reflect his teachings, then it is probably those translated by Broughton which were recovered at Dunhuang; among those the Erru sixing lun 二入四行論 may be the best candidate for the title of 'the Ur-text of Chan.' He arrived at Guangdong, said to have been carrying the sacred begging-bowl (despite the fact that he was a kṣatriya). His doctrine and practice were those of the 'inner light,' independent of the written word, but to 慧可 Huike, his successor, he commended the Laṅkâvatāra-sūtra as nearest to his views. He is also known by the posthumous title of 圓覺大師. Variant Chinese rendering is 菩提達摩.
