Sinthe'

In the sixth century, Bodhidharma ( know as Ta Mo or Dharmo) an Indian prince on a pilgrimage from India crossed the Himilayan mountains on foot and eventually arrived in China. He attempted to take up residence in the Shaolin Temple, where he was not well received by the head abbot. At this point, Bodhidharma took refuge in a cave high atop nearby Song Mountain where he meditated for the next nine years. As the legend goes, few years into his meditation, Bodhidharma fell asleep.
