Bodhidharma (470-543): Bodhidharma is credited with bringing Zen Buddhism to China, being the First Patriarch of the Chinese Zen Lineage. Bodhidharma's Buddhist Master, Prajnatara, was the 27th Patriarch of Indian Buddhism. He taught Bodhidharma for many years, gave him Mind Transmission, made him the 28th Patriarch, and gave him the name Bodhidharma. Following the instruction of his Master to transmit Dharma to China, Bodhidharma traveled east to Southern China in 526 A.D.
