All the time that Ba Tuo was founding the Shaolin Temple was not an Indian prince named Bodhidharma. Bodhidharma was very intelligent and was the favorite son of the king of a region that is now part of southern India. Bodhidharma had two older brothers, who feared that his father, the king, would be to ignore and leave the kingdom to Bodhidharma. In the jealousy, the two older brothers often criticized Bodhidharma while talking to his father, hoping to return against his younger brother. Older siblings have also tried to kill Bodhidharma, Bodhidharma, but there was a good karma and if attempts were unsuccessful. Despite being the favorite son of the king, Bodhidharma realized he was not interested in politics. Instead, he opted to study with renowned Buddhist teacher Prajnatara and become a Buddhist monk.

Da Mo would be denied the Emperor Wu of the good, because it is a duty to treat people with the emperor. Rather than seeking compliments, Emperor Wu would be happy to help people through the Buddha. Similarly, if someone asks whether of Buddha in the world, then you have already answered the question, Buddha is a matter of faith, you believe in your heart or not. Into question the existence of Buddha, Emperor Wu had shown a lack of faith.

Da Mo continued north to the river Yangtze. Sitting next to the river was a woman with a large bundle of rods beside her. Da Mo went to the old woman and asked if he could have a beer. She said she could. Da Mo took a single reeds are placed on the surface of the Yangtze River and the foot of the cane. Was carried out through the Yangtze River by the force of the chi.

At this point, Mo was approaching from the site of the Shaolin Temple. The Shaolin monks had heard of his approach, and were assembled to meet him. When Da Mo arrived Shaolin monks greeted him and asked him to come and stay at the temple. Da Mo did not answer, but went into the cave of the mountain behind the Shaolin Temple, sat down and began to meditate. In front of the Shaolin Temple is one of the five mountains Bell Mountain, Drum Mountain, Mount Sword, Mountain Stamp and Flag Mountain. These mountains are called objects by their shape resembles. Behind the Shaolin Temple has five "Mountains of the breast," which are shaped like breasts. From the cave where the Mo decided to meditate was one of the mountains of the breast.

During these nine years, Shen Guang Da Mo was left out of the cave, and was a bodyguard of Da Mo, that no harm came to Da Mo Guang Shen, from time to time to ask Da Mo to teach, but Da Mo never responded to requests for Shen Guang. These nine years, the Shaolin monks should also regularly invite Da Mo to go down to the temple, where it would be much nicer, but never Da Mo replied. Some time after Da Mo concentration was so intense that his image was carved on a stone wall in front of him.

After nine years, the Shaolin monks have decided they must do something more to Da Mo and so have a special room for him. They called the house of Da Mo Ting. When this house was completed at the end of nine years, the Shaolin monks called Da Mo to come and stay in the room. Da Mo did not answer, but got up and went down the room, sat down and immediately began to meditate. Shen Guang Da Mo was followed by the Shaolin temple, and stood guard outside Da Mo's room.

He took a big block of ice and snow, and threw it in the Da Mo's room. Snow and ice, has a loud sound as it broke the inside of Da Mo in the room. The noise woke up the Mo Da in his meditation, and watched Shen Guang. In anger and frustration, Shen Guang asked to know when Da Mo would teach him.

Da Mo replied that he could teach Shen Guang red when the snow fell from the sky.

Hearing this, something inside the heart Shen Guang changed and took the sword on his belt and broke his left hand. He had cut his hand above his head and shook him around. Froze the blood in the hands of cold air and fell like a snow red. Seeing this, the Mo Da Guang Shen agreed to teach.

When Mo took a cat monk, and went with Shen Guang Drum Mountain in front of the Shaolin Temple. Drum Mountain is so called because it is very flat on top. Since Mo is the implicit message to Shen Guang Guang Shen was that to flatten his heart, like the surface of the Mountain of the drum. When the Drum Mountain Mo dug a well. The water from this well was bitter. When Lu Guang Shen then left on the Mount of the drum. For a whole year, Shen Guang used the bitter water into the well to take care of their needs. He used to cook, clean, bathe, to do everything. At the end of the first year, Shen Guang Da Mo went down and asked again that the Mo to teach him.
