Bodhidharma
Bodhidharma (or Da Mo)(fl. 526/527 CE) was the Buddhist monk traditionally credited as the transmitter of Chan to China. Very little contemporary biographical information on Bodhidharma is extant, and subsequent accounts became layered with legend, but most accounts agree that he was a South Indian monk who journeyed to southern China and subsequently relocated northwards.
