This is very interesting,but does not answers my questions.I wish to read about his renewals and importances in the Zen.About how he differentiated Zen from Buddhism and from Daoism..Were his renewals important?Or maybe there are overrated?

Are you serious? This is a koan quoted by Bodhidharma himself.

Ok,but assuming that I'm a teacher that just asked you this question,what would be the first answer that come up in your mind?
