This article is about the Shaolin Abbot.
The Indian dhyana master Buddhabhadra (Chinese: 跋陀; pinyin: Bátuó) was the founding abbot and patriarch of the Shaolin Temple.
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.
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.
