Bodhidharma, a Pallava prince from Kanchipuram in Southern India went on to become the first patriarch of the Chan Buddhism in China.

He established what we now know as the Shaolin temple and Kung-Fu.

He arrived in China after 382 AD and is identified as the 28th Patriarch of Buddhism

 

Today, there are major temples and sites dedicated to Bodhidharma all over China, Tibet, Malaysia and Japan.

 

Many movies and documentaries have been made in China and Japan on his life and times.

The only people perhaps who have forgotten him are we, Indians.

 We have bad slavery blood, hence tend to believe more in non-Indians. Here is the proof
