Notes:
Bodhidharma, Damo 達摩 ?-536, the Indian monk who originated Chan Buddhism, traveled to China from India by way of the sea route from India. He arrived in the Guangzhou area in the early 6th century and visited the 光孝寺 Guangxiaosi, Bright Filial Piety Temple, before proceeding northward to spread Chan Buddhism in China.
