Re: Name that person

This certain author wrote a story about a young girl who gets whisked away on an adventure into another world there she encounters a world of different characters one in particular goes after her for her shoes. And while she is running from this person she meets up with three characters who follow her on her quest. This author wrote this story at the age of 44. You might know the story he wrote becuase there was a movie that was sort of like a musical which is now owned by Sony picture's by the way but recently their was also a musical called "Wicked" which is the prequel to his time classic story and was featured in broadway that won some tony awards as well, but wasn't written by him. Who is this auther I am speaking of that created this childrens story that became a movie which everyone has to have seen at least once in their life time.

He went their to translate Buddhist texts from Sanskrit to Chinese. But when he got there he was refused admittance and was rejected by the monks. He went to a nearby cave and meditated for nine long years or so legend say's and when he came out of the cave he started teaching the monks who at the time were weak in mind and body, how to do Chi Gung which later turned into Kung Fu. He also introduce Chan Budhism which is called "Zen" Can anyone tell me who this monk is?

'twas Bodhidharma, the first patriarch of Ch'an Buddhism. He is symbolized today by the red "Daruma" dolls that can be found in many Buddhist temples and at festivals.

Re: Name that person

This Chinese General was born in 1103AD in the era of the Song Dynasty. His mother tatooed on his back these words "Jin Zhong Bao Guo" which meant Loyalty and Patriotism. When he was young he swore he would recapture the lost territory in the North of China that was over run by the Jins and free the two Emperors held captive at the time. He joined the Chinese military and rose to the ranks. He started waging battles with the Jin and he was routing them North it was said that he once defeated an enemy said to be 500,000 strong with only 800 soldiers on the outskirts of today's Kaifeng. This General was called back from his duties and was betrayed by the Chinese Prime Minister Qin Hui who cited him for treason and had the general and his son executed.

Who is this General?

Yup. He's the head of the FLDS and he must've really pissed off somebody in local or national government to get put on the same list as murderers. There's a $100,000 bounty on his head. Maybe you'll spock him when you move to Layton, Pedro!
