Kungfu heroes once roamed the land. One day in 520 A.D. a bearded, impressive-looking monk appeared in Nanking. His name was Bodhidharma, and he had come all the way from India to see the Chinese emperor, Liang Wu Ti, having heard that the emperor was a devout Buddhist.
梁武帝篤信佛教，曾以帝王之尊，在佛寺為奴，並於轄下各處廣置寺廟；對遠來的達摩，也高興地接見。
