Daruma doll and Bodhidharma

The Japanese daruma doll looks quite strange. The doll is round and does not have any legs or arms. It has a mustache1 and a beard2. The eyes consist of only blank round circles. It is very auspicious3! These Japanese dolls are a symbol of Bodhidharma. He is considered the founder of Zen Buddhism in China.

Bodhidharma lived during the 5th century CE. He arrived at Shaolin Monastery and settled4 in a nearby cave. Bodhidharma spent the next nine years meditating5 and while staring at the wall of the cave. He did not speak the entire time.

许愿娃娃

现在把娃娃放在你经常看到的架子高处。每次你看到娃娃时,你都要提醒自己你的愿望或目标。

當你实现愿望或达到目标时,再用黑色墨水填上(娃娃的)右眼。

One year time limit

Traditionally the magic powers of the daruma doll will last for one year. If thewish did not come true within the year, the doll may be taken to the temple forburning. This absolutely14 does not indicate15 a failure or that the owner of thedoll has abandoned16 their wish. It is rather a renewal17 of the goal or wish,making sure the wish will be preserved18 in the next year to come.

The burning of the daruma dolls is a special ceremony performed by themonks in Japan. It is held once a year right after New Year.

The process of purchasing a new daruma doll and filling in one eye of thedoll while making a wish is repeated.

一年的期限

傳统上,达摩娃娃的魔力将持续一年。如果愿望在一年内没有实现,娃娃可能会被带到寺庙烧掉。这绝不意味着失败或娃娃的主人放弃了自己的愿望。这更像是一个目标或愿望的更新,确保这个愿望在未来的一年中得以实现。

烧掉达摩娃娃是日本僧侣举行的一项特殊仪式,每年在新年后举行一次。

购买一个新达摩娃娃并在许愿时填上娃娃的一只眼睛的过程(和之前的)是重复的。
