He became a monk when he was young, and was familiar with Buddhist scriptures. At the age of 40, he worshipped Bodhidharma as his teacher. In order to show her determination to seek Tao, Huike broke her left arm with a knife and offered it to Dharma. Feeling his sincerity, Dharma gave him tools and names, and accepted him as a disciple. When Dharma preached Dharma in Songshan Mountain, he gave Huike four volumes of Lengjia Scripture, and said, "when I look at the land of Han Dynasty, I only have this Scripture. Those who are benevolent follow this Scripture and live a life of their own." Later, Huike inherited Dharma's Zen and became a Zen master. After the death of Dharma, Huike once disappeared. Later, because of the trace of all walks of life, he came to study and began to preach. In the early years of Tianping in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Huike traveled north to yedU (now Anyang) to spread the Dharma. When ye preached the Dharma, a local monk named Daoheng, whose disciples did not come back after listening to Huike's Dharma, so they harmed Huike many times, and finally they were "killed by thieves". After that, he passed the Dharma with one arm and became famous. Huike passed the Dharma to monk can and then became emperor.
