In the sixth century, a monk named Bodhidharma traveled through central Asia to China and established the Chan sect of Buddhism, a new Mahayana school centered on meditation and the personal transmission of doctrine from teacher to student. In the following centuries, Chan was introduced to Korea (as Seon) and Japan (as Zen).
