A monk asked master Wei-shan why Bodhidharma
had come to China. In answer, the master held up
his teaching stick.
A teaching stick is a long, flat piece of wood, a bit like a small
plank. If the master perceives one of his students has drifted
off or is not in the 'now' moment, he uses the stick to sharply
rap them on the head to bring their attention back.
This was the reason Bodhidharma came to China.
