The sea route taken from India to China by Bodhidharma, the founder of Chinese Zen Buddhism, is not known in detail, but I would like to here offer my own theory regarding the possibility of his having followed the maritime Silk Road. The Indian Ocean was an active trade route between India and China long before the birth of Christ, and undoubtedly Bodhidharma traveled the same route. A new project honoring the great teacher is now being planned in India.
