Apart from the founder, La Croze also mentions the Chinese idol Tamo (Bodhidharma), en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodhidharma who had entered China from India “after the year 552” of the common era. He argued that this was by no means the apostle Thomas, as some missionaries assumed, but rather a representative of the founder’s inner doctrine who “made himself the chief of a branch of the sect of Foe that is called the Sect of the Meditators. Tamo’s chief accomplishment consisted in “sitting for nine years with his face forward the wall and contemplating nature or emptiness [la Nature ou le Vuide] and thus to “annihilate himself in order to be put among the idols of his sect” While the exterior percepts of this religion are the same for all ”the idolaters of the Indies, the Brahmins as well as the others,” the initiates of the inner doctrine teach “that all creatures come from nothingness” and that they “return to nothingness” provided that they “practice contemplation and the most austere virtues, accompanied by a perfect detachment from the world. ~ Page 131
