    Bodhidharma is considered the founder of Chan Buddhism and lived around the 5th-6th century CE in China. As a textual and religious paradigm, Bodhidharma represents the transmission of Buddhism from India to China and the establishment of a new tradition focused on meditation and intuition over scripture. References to Bodhidharma helped legitimize later Chan teachings and communities despite the lack of reliable biographical sources about his life and teachings.
