- There were two Indian Buddhist masters named Buddhabhadra in China during the 5th century CE. This article is about the Shaolin Abbot.
The Indian dhyana master Buddhabhadra (Chinese: 跋陀; pinyin: Bátuó) was the founding abbot of Shao-lin Monastery.
According to the Deng Feng County Recording (Deng Feng Xian Zhi), Bátuó came to China in 464 CE to preach Nikaya (小乘) Buddhism. Thirty-one years later, in 495, the Shaolin Monastery was built by the order of Emperor Xiaowen of Northern Wei for Batuo's preaching. The temple originally consisted of a round dome used as a shrine and a platform where Indian and Chinese monks translated Indian Buddhist scriptures into native Chinese languages.
Bátuó's disciples Sengchou and Huiguang were both expert in the martial arts by the time that Bátuó agreed to teach them religion.
