The Origin of Daruma: From Zen Patriarch to Lucky Charm

歷史背景 | Historical Background

達摩(Daruma)並非單純的裝飾品,而是源自一位真實的歷史人物——菩提達摩(Bodhidharma),他是佛教禪宗的創始人。
Daruma is not merely a decorative item, but originates from a real historical figure - Bodhidharma, the founder of Zen Buddhism.

根據傳說,達摩大師於公元6世紀從印度來到中國,在少林寺的山洞中面壁修行長達9年。他的堅定意志和不屈精神,成為了後世禪修者的典範。
According to legend, Master Daruma came from India to China in the 6th century and meditated facing a wall in a cave at Shaolin Temple for 9 years. His unwavering will and indomitable spirit became a model for future Zen practitioners.

由於長時間打坐冥想,傳說達摩的四肢逐漸萎縮。這個形象後來演變成日本的達摩不倒翁——一個沒有手腳、圓滾滾的紅色公仔,象徵著專注、堅持與不屈不撓的精神。
Due to prolonged sitting meditation, legend says Daruma's limbs gradually atrophied. This image later evolved into the Japanese Daruma doll - a round, red figure without arms or legs, symbolizing focus, perseverance, and an indomitable spirit.

The design of the Daruma doll embodies an important life philosophy in Japanese culture - "Nanakorobi Yaoki", meaning "fall down seven times, stand up eight."
