- There were two Indian Buddhist masters named Buddhabhadra in China during the 5th century CE. This article is about the Shaolin Abbot.
Batuo (Fo Tuo, Chinese: 跋陀; pinyin: Bátuó, from Sanskrit Buddhabhadra), an Indian dhyana master, was the founder and first patriarch of the Shaolin Monastery.
According to Chinese texts such as the Deng Feng County Recording (Deng Feng Xian Zhi), an Indian Buddhist monk and dhyana master named Batuo travelled to China to preach Buddhism in 464 A.D. The Shaolin Temple was built thirty-one years later in AD 495, by the order of emperor Wei Xiao Wen (471–500). 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.
Batuo was the teacher of early Shaolin monks, including Sengchou and Huiguang. Monastery records state Sengchou and Huiguang were two of Shaolin's first monks, both experts in martial arts. The Taishō Tripiṭaka documents Sengchou's skill with the tin staff.
