Bodhidharma, Hualin Temple, Guangzhou, Guangdong
The title board says "One Flower, Five Petals" (一花五叶); Bodhidharma (达摩) is the "One Flower," and the five Chan (禅) patriarchs (祖) who followed him are the "petals"; at Hualin Temple (华林寺), Guangzhou, Guangdong (广东,广州市), where Bodhidharma stayed upon his arrival from India (天竺).
